Rest Easy, Odetta
Famed folk singer Odetta passed away last night. Hers was the voice of my childhood. When I was 5 years old, my parents bought the Odetta album One Grain of Sand. I wore the grooves on that record out, replaying over and over again songs like Sail Away Ladies, Moses Moses, Midnight Special and She Moved Through the Fair, to name a few. Here is a You-Tube video which pays tribute to Odetta, to the music of Midnight Special.
