Subject: RE: Elizabeth Cotten
I had the privelige of seeing E. Cotton in 1969 or 1970 in Gatlinburg, Tenn. It was a Bluegrass get-together with Bill Monroe and Bluegrass Boys as the main attraction.

Mr Monroe came out to the parking lot after his Sat. night show and we all picked and grinned all night.

Next day was a day show and Elizabeth Cotton was a guest. She captured everyones fancy. She did indeed pick the guitar upside down,(left handed). She sang and picked Freight Train, and several blues songs. SHE WAS GREAT.
