She was an icon and an American treasure. And oh gods, what a *voice*. Here's the NPR story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97735199 ... and I saw this posted elsewhere, it's an excellent example of her work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaya8jYZBO8 I'm particularly sad that Odetta didn't make it to see (or perform at) Obama's inauguration, but I'm sure she'll be there in spirit. - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 11:47:54 -0800 From: "Sue Trowbridge" Subject: Re: RIP Odetta :( On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 9:56 AM, meredith wrote: > > This is probably the first mention of Odetta's name in these pages, but I > need to mark her passing here anyway.

That's the nice thing about using gmail, those easily searchable archives... - --Sue ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 11:56:42 -0800 (PST) From: Ellen Rawson Subject: Re: RIP Odetta :( - --- On Wed, 12/3/08, meredith wrote: > This is probably the first mention of Odetta's name in > these pages, but I need to mark her passing here anyway. > She was an icon and an American treasure.
