    I was her musical director in the mid 80's and played piano with her and her band "The Nashville Huggies". (the name she gave us.) She was the most gentle, spiritual person I have ever known and it was real honor to have worked with her.

    As a sound engineer I had the honor to do sound for a performance by Odetta. To say it was moving, surreal, religious, ethereal is not doing it justice. She was amazing, I knew I was in the presence of greatness. The Shure Beta 58 microphone she used has never been sung or spoken into again...

    In the summer of 2008, I was road-tripping with a friend and went to Bridgeport, CT because I wanted to see the Barnum Museum. We got to town in the early evening and checked in at the Holiday Inn just down the street from the museum. Being a nice summer evening, we went out and walked around a bit, and after enjoying pizza and wine at a local spot, we came out of the restaurant and heard some music in the little public park across the street.
    So we sat down on a low wall, and there were a few dozen people listening to an old woman who was singing along with a single accompanist. She had a kind of rough, honest, life-experienced voice, filled with human emotions, cracking jokes, slightly naughty as she encouraged the young folks to explore their natural urges.
    Her singing presenting the human condition.
    I enjoyed the concert, and at the end she invited people to buy a CD. I figured I would help out this poor old lady by buying a disk. I felt magnanimous and generous, what a nice guy I was!
    Before the end of the year I heard an announcement on the radio. Odetta died in December.
    "During her lifetime, she performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to bohemian nightclubs and coffeehouses and released several recordings. She became one of the most prominent folk singers of the 1950s and '60s, influencing artists such as Joan Baez, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan, who says that her singing first turned him on to folk music."
    Odetta? That's who's CD I bought at that little summer night free concert in Bridgeport.
    Ain't that a-rockin'?

    I don’t know if I ever told you, but first about 3 years , Odetta husband, Jim Gordon, was my partner. We proudly presented “folk music concerts” all around California.
    She was almost a spiritual presence…far beyond an entertainment. A force of nature
    Look up “freedom” by odetta in her prime, and try your hero a tear from your eye
    I moved on, and do did Dan. But I can still hear her. She died shortly after this piece
