" As nightfall does not come all at once , neither does oppression , In both instances , there is a twilight when everything seems unchanged and it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air , However slight, we become unwitting victims of the darkness" -- William O. Douglas

Wishing you well, Emily...Wishing you well. Like you, I am thinking of Odetta these days...
Odetta - "House of the Rising Sun" (Live in concert, 2005) Odetta Holmes (December 31, 1930 - December 2, 2008)
"The folk repertoire is our inheritance. Don't have to like it, but we need to hear it. I love getting to schools and telling kids there's something else out there. It's from their forebears, and its an alternative to what they hear on the radio. As long as I am performing, I will be pointing out that heritage that is ours." - Odetta
"The first thing that turned me on to folk singing was Odetta." - Bob Dylan
