"Barry, my comments about Odetta were in reference to her image and her spirit."

"Barry, don't be too hard on Odetta, so many of the greats don't know when it's time to leave the stage for the last time."

Azizi & Kendall,
her image & spirit & voice where intact & as fine as ever, if not better & as as a guest mentioned above when meeting her she's Regal is probably an understatement. It was her mirror performance of her 60's act that if found less than refreshing, maybe she thinks that, that's what's expected of her, I don't know. To me she's still a hero, it's just dissapointing when a hero fails you.

Maybe she shouldn't have been on at a sea music festival where she was a fish out of water.
I apologize, perhaps I should've cut her a bit more slack.
