Fantastic - Thanks for the posting -

She even bend the bass note - rich and detailed played and at the age of 90 - Simple just fantastic post and interview.

her voice sounds awful, even for Libba Cotten, but not bad for ninety something, and her playing while perhaps not as far uptempo as in her younger days, was still amazing, and who doesn't love this song.

Shes in her 90s what do you expect.
Why be so petty and remark on how awful her voice is when she is a genius to have written this song and to have taught herself how to play guitar and banjo.
