GUEST,Sing-Along Steve	Obit: Odetta has died (1930-2008) (66* d)	RE: Obit: Odetta has died (2 December 2008)	03 Dec 08
The one and only thing I can say is that I have yet, to this day, after 35 years, to read an article about folk music that has not name-checked Odetta. Period. Although I am really unfamiliar with her music in specific, I have been a scholar (of sorts) of music as it relates to social change for many years now, and Odetta has always been named as basically the foundation stone of the structure that is socially-aware song. If we all live as long as she did and survive the coming years with even a shred of the respect, love and dignity that she amassed, we will all be blessed indeed. RIP
