she's wonderful -- everything about her. Still alive?

I hadn’t heard of her either, but my wife had. In fact, she used to
be a folk singer and Elizabeth Cotten’s version of “Freight Train”
is the song she remembers best. We both enjoyed watching her. Thanks
for the link.
It's says she passed in '87. What an American treasure. I love that
name "Libba" as a nickname for Elizabeth. It sounds African.
Did you get that message on the R.L. Burnside boots?
