Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt and Libba Cotten - history?
I went to see MJH in DC in 1/64 - EC was there sitting right next to the stage, but she was not on the bill. This was just after he was on the Carson show.
I also like the cross-pollination of Creole Belle - a pseudo ragtime piece by Danish musician, J. Bodewalt Lampe while with the St, Paul (MN) Orchestra. Great country!!
When I sing "Do you love JH," I say yes I shook his hand - a great honor.
