Antoinette Brown Brumbaugh

I just found out about the passing of Toni. I am very moved. As a teenager I bought Castles and it and especially the song Beginning Tomorrow has accompanied me almost my entire life. Thank You Toni!

Loved her style and her lovely smile. Wonderful musician and person.

I was just working on a song tonight, "Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo for a young guitar student, and Toni's song Good For You, Too, popped into my head. I gave it a spin on youtube and it totally holds up! I bought her album back in '74 and there was a ton of great music on it. I'm feeling very sad to have just learned of Toni's passing but it sounds like she had a wonderful life. Thank you for the music Toni!

I just learned of Toni's passing. I am a longtime Joy of Cooking fan. What a talent she was. Sorry for your loss.

Have always loved Tony's music with Joy Of Cooking and ply them quite often on my radio shows. She was an awesome talent and will be greatly missed!!!!

Just performed Toni's song, "Children's House," for our Earth Day service at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia (SC) yesterday. What a fabulous song! And just how, I've always wondered, did a woman of just 30 or so come to write with such empathy of a much older one, in the heartbreaking "Red Wine At Noon?" I never got to meet Toni in person, but through her music she's always been a part of my life. I understand that her legacy is much broader than that, but it's the...

Toni was a good friend to my late parents, Glen and Rickie Dines, and we spent many afternoons playing tennis at Canon. She was such a gifted and creative women, with a ready laugh and sarcastic humor. She will be greatly missed by one and all!

Toni Brown I hold dear for true kindness.

I helped Barry Olivier put on the Berkeley Folk Festival, I think in the summer of 1969, and Joy of Cooking played there. I also saw them perform at some place on San Pablo Avenue. They had a great spirit to them.
