| Mike Regenstreif & Robert Resnik (2025) |
My dear and close friend Robert Resnik of Burlington, Vermont. Robert passed away on July 21 at age 72 after struggling with several health issues including Parkinson’s disease. Robert was a singer and musician who played many different instruments in many styles of folk music. For the past 29 years, Robert hosted All the Traditions, a great folk music show on Vermont Public Radio. In 2023, Robert was inducted into the Folk Radio Hall of Fame sponsored by Folk Alliance International. Professionally, Robert was a librarian for about 30 years at the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington, Vermont.
