Who heard the NPR piece on Etta Baker this morning?

Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 01:25 PM by Richardo

:loveya:

91 years old, playing the Piedmont Blues since she was three years old. Some field recordings of hers in 1956 are creditied with influencing folk guitarists throughout the 50s and 60s.

Her command of the guitar is amazing... :wow: and Taj Mahal is with her on this CD (only her second - her first was in 1991).
