She played Kerrville, don't remember which one, but Mike Seeger walked her to a chair at the front of the stage, put a blanket on her lap, set the guitar in her hands and set the microphone for her. She was slow and old, but she sang strong and true. And she called us children. "You children sing this with me."

We did, of course.
