I bet seeing her in the 60s was incredible - her music and style seems to have been an eye-opener and so inspirational. I wish I saw her too!

I saw Odetta when I was in high school or in college It was during the big folk explosion of the early 60s. She was awe inspiring.
Last night Vin Scelsa replayed an interview he did with her 8 years ago in which she mentioned that she was a classicaly trained singer.
