Odetta

"Here I am at the Kerrville Texas Festival, 1996 -- I am once again enthralled by the generous spirit of those who volunteer their time and service -- I am meeting artists I've only heard about. I am running into artists I have not seen, or heard, for long periods of time -- I am being infused by the extraordinary energy of this night. I am blessed that Murray Krugman was there to capture this magic evening on tape -- (I was accompanied by crickets).

To the Magnificence of you, Miss Ella -- From me and our hearts --" Odetta
