But her night is here. To observe her 80th Dane is performing tonight at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley not far from her home in East akland where she lives with her husband Irwin Silber. While Silber former editor of the famed folk music magazine Sing ut! is out with kids and grandchildren Dane relaxes in the back patio of their rambling shambling home with Corky one of their two cats alternately resting and restless by her side. This she says is an escape from the clutter of her house in which every visible room looks to be doubling as a work space with boxes and stacks of papers and CDs with computers and stereo equipment. The CDs range from Dane’s 1956 debut recorded in San Francisco called “Trouble in Mind” to one called “What Are You Gonna Do When There Ain’t No Jazz?” from sessions in New rleans in 1988 and akland in 2000. Dane sells the CDs originally released on Capitol Dot and smaller labels through her own site ( barbara dane. net) and does the shipping herself… “It was a moment when I had to change” she says. “Life as a performer – at least for me – has been a series of remaking yourself. ” At an early blues gig she was spotted by jazz clarinetist Dick xtot. “He asked me to come down the street and sing with Bob Mielke’s Bearcats” says Dane who remembers reeling off a couple of spirituals and “Good Morning Blues. ” “It ends ‘If I can’t be your woman I ain’t gonna be your dog. ‘ That became a thing for me. ” By the late ’50s Dane had been married twice and had three children.
