One of the Great Ones. We saw Elizabeth Cotten in the early eighties, sharing the bill with Mike Seeger. What a spellbinding show. During the intermission, she talked with my daughter, Annie, (Poo-Twa's wife), for a couple of minutes, even though bigger, more important types were reqesting her attention. Annie was only six or seven at the time. I'll never forget what she wrote on Annie's Program: "To a sweet little girl. Bless you, Elizabeth Cotten". What a memory!

Funny thing about this place where we saw her: The Arvada (Colorado), Center for the Performing Arts. My fiance and I also saw Dan Crary there, right before we got married. During the intermission, Mr. Crary talked with us, and "blessed" our upcoming marriage. It must have worked: we're still going strong. Thanks, BlueJay
