Odetta Sings "Cottonfields"

It seems I've strayed a bit from my cartooning, art, Teachers College theme, but only slightly. When I taught at TC, I was particularly interested in folk music - Dylan, Baez, Buffy Sainte Marie, and many others. Some of my students may have even "enjoyed" a folk rock unit in some of my courses. One of my favorite discoveries of the Sixties was Odetta. I had more-or-less forgotten about her until I read of her death this year. I went to iTunes and bought a number of her songs; what a treat! Here is a sample of her work. I found that posting music to Blogs, however, is not easy; I had to make a video using stills and adding an iTunes sound track. We'll see if it works.
