Empty Pocket Waltz
Connie Converse
Connie Converse / ‘Empty Pocket Waltz’
Elizabeth “Connie” Converse wrote personal and hauntingly beautiful songs. She spent the 1950s in New York City, where she shared her music with her circle of bohemian friends, but never made a commercial recording. Connie left New York discouraged — and in 1974 she wrote goodbye letters to her friends and family, and disappeared.
“Because, really, what was worse than lying wide-awake in the dark, watching your life drip away, one irreplaceable minute after another?”
—The Abstinence Teacher by Tom Perrotta (via bloodisthenewblackk)
