Background from AllMusic.com

Being a fiddle player from Pittsburgh myself, I've long been interested in the Pittsburgh band Rebecca and the Sunny Brook Farmers, of which Lauren Wood was a member, because I'd always heard that the fiddle player in the band was the same person who played viola on the Doobie Brothers' hit Black Water. Here's a bit of information that I've found from the band's biography at AllMusic.com:

Lauren Wood's name was noted as Ilene Rappaport and her cousin, Novi Novog, born in California, was noted as Ilene Novog (interesting coincidence)

Both Lauren and Novi were in the band. So even though the fiddle player that recorded with the Doobies was not from Pittsburgh, she was in fact in the Pittsburgh band.

Another link related to their album, Birth, references the same info, the cousins' real names, as well as the fact that both were in the band. http://tyme-machine.blogspot.com/2009/01/rebecca-and-sunnybrook-farmers-birth-us.html

I've also seen the band's name referenced alternately as Sunny Brook and Sunnybrook, but Birth's album cover clearly indicates two separate words, due to the slight space between the letters y and capital B

I don't know if this is enough reference to add to the main page yet, but I want it captured here, so that when it can be verified it can be added.

Chunky?

The article says that Wood is “also known as Chunky”. This was added in October and I have no idea if it’s true or not, but I wonder if it’s vandalism. It sure sounds like it could potentially be considered an insult. Someone should look into this. 2604:2D80:6986:4000:0:0:0:E818 (talk) 02:47, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it’s legit. In the body of the article it mentions she used that name as a member of a band in the 70s. Although I still wonder if it’s appropriate to mention it in the lead like that without giving any context. 2604:2D80:6986:4000:0:0:0:E818 (talk) 06:14, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
