Way back in the 1960s, Odetta would come to Miami to play in the Gaslight South, next door to the pub where I tended bar part-time. She and her band came over after sets, and she would sit and chat with us. A friend of mine was "with" her guitarist for several years. She was such a fine, down-to-earth person and I treasure those memories.

ReplyDeleteShe had an amazing repetoire too!
Odetta was born to sing and play her guitar. I'll miss her sweetness and the way that she held on to that through thick and thin.
