Thread Name: Photo-Libba Cotten & Mississipi John Hurt together
Subject: RE: Picture of Libba Cotten and MJH together
Wow, Jerry, I was there and remember that. What a special night! Libba Cotten is one of my all time favorites. The Sounding Board had her in March of 1975. She graciously let me tape her that night. She and her companion stayed at my house that night. It certainly is one I'll never forget. I was also at Newport in 1964, my very first festival at age 18, and saw and heard Libba and Mississippi John play both individually and together. I was in heaven. John Hurt would stay at my house for a weekend twice in 1966 and 1967 while playing at a coffeehouse which I helped to run at the time. I surely do miss those years. I treasure the memories.
