Subject: RE: Odetta hospitalized (Nov 2008)
It must be fifty years since I first was nearly levitated by that voice off my big brother's record. Only a couple of years later, at Newport, the speaking voice, the sweet, gentle, utterly powerful speaking voice in between those stunning songs, powerful enough to stun a buffalo. It sure would be grand to hear both on January 20th.
