What were they like in those early years as singers, performers and guitarists? |

Schlitz put on a lot of free concerts and I think Flatt & Scruggs and Muddy Waters were on the same bill -- FREE. She wore a long green velvet dress (it was July) and accompanied herself on piano.

I think it was just before the NY Concert lp (my favorite) came out, and she did some of those songs. No intro - no back-up, she just walked out, barefoot, played fair guitar and sang with the greatest voice I ever heard for about an hour. By then, I had seen Rambling Jack and Mississippi John and knew the difference, but she still was - and is - a great singer of folk songs. Just wish her politics were a bit more open-minded after all these years - see the Instapundit post on her "minstrel show" performance last night. As for her leftist political value - compare Joan with Emma Goldman and Emma comes up shining. Let's keep Emma's grave clean. Had a late dinner once with Oddetta after her concert - one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. Not a bone of pretension in her. I liked the story about how Chicago singer, Jo Mapes, introduced her to folk music in high school. Chris in Wheaton |
