I'm working on a feature about Irene Higginbotham. As many of you know David Brent Johnson claims to have solved the riddle of the two Irenes on radio show “Night Lights.” It is a convincing argument. If they are two separate songwriters, I'm trying to find out what became of Higginbotham. Is she the one who used the pseudonym Glenn Gibson? The picture with the beautiful Irene in a hat, the one that is circulated on the 'net, is that Higginbotham or Kitchings? Most history books say she was born in Worcester, MA in 1918. She died in 1988. Does any know where?
