At some point shortly before she passed away Libba Cotton was presented with a new Martin Guitar. She was named a a living legend and a National Treasure by the people who officially name such things. Dana Klip from the Syracuse area was her accompanist for the time while she live locally in Syracuse and he has probably the best and clearest info of anyone I know.

Art Thieme also has some good info on Libba Cotton and did a great job of her version of Shake Sugaree.

I have had these facts checked and notarized by an independent Information Clearing House.
