I heard a lot of songs that I still sing first from Jo Mapes at the Old Town School, such as San Francisco Bay Blues. It wasn't until I got to talk to Odetta much later that I found that she and Jo went to high school together in LA and it was Jo that brought Odetta to folk music - so lots of tangents to this story.
It would make a good book - and be sure to keep the movie rights!!
