At the age of 76, Louis Killen began to live openly as a woman named Louisa Jo Killen. The first time I ever saw Louisa Killen was in the early 1970s when she became the replacement for Tommy Makem with the singing Clancy Brothers. So it was with shock I discovered an obituary for “Louisa Jo Killen, English Folk Singer” in the New York Times on August 28, 2013. Louis was now Louisa Jo. God bless, Louisa Jo!
