Subject: Dreadful Memories: The Life of Sarah Oga
When I was very young hitch-hiking around the county Pete Seeger told me of this place called, The Pipesteam Folk Life Center run by Don West and his wife Connie who was a great artist.
I found the place and Don really showed me around in his jeep. At the time there was a festival and all kind of folks would come out of the mountains. This was my 1st time in hearing Mountain music which I took as very real sound from one's soul.
Anyway they had workshops that I went to and I went to one of Sarah's workshop. I will never forget her voice and they way she told her stories, just like a angel singing with that high lonesome sound.
So here is is 38 minute film you can watch online.
