Odetta


Odetta died today. One of the best folk singers I've every heard. In 1963 she marched to Washington, that powerful voice singing, "I'm On My Way". It had been her hope to sing at Obama's inauguration. I have a feeling she will be singing that song on January 20th. I know I'll feel it in my bones anyway.

Thanks for the lovely photograph. I'll visualize her just that way as I watch the inauguration.
