Daly City

Nobody who has driven south along Skyline Drive in Daly City would doubt that Little Boxes refers to this neighborhood, but I haven't found a really authoritative source for the attribution.

An online search suggests that Seeger commonly made the connection while introducing the song. There's also a recollection here from one Peter Levy of a Eugene McCarthy fundraiser where Reynolds "sang her Little Boxes song and prefaced with a comment on the Tacky houses across the bay--at the time we were in a rather posh Berkeley hills abode".

A better citation would be nice.

I added her comment about "a song before breakfast" from personal remembrance. I saw Malvina perform c. 1971 at a céilí at the Southestern Massachusetts Technical Institute (now UMass Dartmouth).

That constitutes original research, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia. I'm taking it out. All published sources I've seen point to the Daly City story. Peter G Werner 13:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I told my father, a folk music enthusiast, I was moving to Daly City a few years ago, he immediately started singing "Daly City, California, little boxes made of ticky-tack, little boxes on the hillside...". He'd never seen Daly City, so I doubt he was inspired visually. Clearly there is a recording somewhere with this lyric. I asked him where he heard it, and he doesn't remember. -- Ken, San Francisco 66.245.150.106 18:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Malvina was the subject of a lovely movie I saw way back in the day. I couldn't tell you anything about it, except that I must have seen it sometime around 1980. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NessBird (talk • contribs) 06:22, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

Why was the separate discography page removed? It used to be part of the article [1] and was moved to a separate page because it was thought to be too long to really fit right. Now it's been deleted.--Hjal 03:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Long Beach?

No mention of her time in Long Beach?

Here's a great article:
