Peggy took lessons from Elizabeth (Libba) Cotten?

I believe Peggy was already playing guitar before she was aware of Elizabeth's playing. Her father played guitar as did her brother and at least one half brother. If she took lessons from Elizabeth she would have to translate the left handed upside down finger picking pattern and therefore chord shapes completely to suit the right hand style that she was teaching us in 1959.

However as Jim knows everything I am sure he will correct me.

I was interested in the style of banjo playing used to accompany MacColl on Jim's sample, it almost made me believe I was listening to a genuine Scottish field recording and not a performance by and Englishman and an American woman.

A Guid New Year to all
