Music has been at the center of the lives of Edith Gutierrez and her
daughter, Pauline Oliveros. Gutierrez has taught piano for much of her life,
has played professionally, and has been active in the Houston music scene.
Oliveros, whom Gutierrez had with her first husband, J.B. Oliveros III, is an
internationally known composer and accordionist.
In 1952, at the age of 20, Pauline moved from Houston to San
Francisco. She and her mother wrote to one another for the next 20 years. They
discussed many topics, among which were their musical interests and activities,
Edith's care for her elderly mother, gossip about family and friends, Edith's
activities with the Houston Professional Musicians Association, and the many
pets which they each cared for.
They come from a musically talented family. Gutierrez's father, John
Monroe Gribbin, had the ability to learn musical instruments by ear. Her
mother, Pauline Gribbin, taught piano for many years. Gutierrez's second
husband, Patricio Gutierrez, played professionally for many years.
