Dear Kat, Azizi, and Virginia:

Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your kind words re my song, and for the thoughtful (and beautifully expressed) insights you've so graciously posted. They are much appreciated.

Incidentally, it may interest you to know that I am in the process of completing a picture book celebrating Odetta's life in music (Odetta: The Queen of Folk; Scholastic; fall, 2009). My ODE TO ODETTA is a part of this project.

Once again, I thank you for your thoughtful comments.

Day is gone.
Gone the Sun.

Long live Odetta,

Stephen
