Thread Name: Acts You Wish You'd seen
Subject: RE: Acts You Wish You'd seen
I read an article in The Star one very wet fall day in 1985
which described the life of 93 year old Elizabeth Cotton
and announced her performance that night at the Hotel Isabella.
I remember being struck by the writers point that she represented
one of the last opportunities to see a performer who had been
born in the 1800's. So I skipped the Jays/Royals game and spent
the 10 bucks - one of the best decisions I've made.
See the old ones while you still can.
