Gary Davis, Brownie McGhee, Blind Boy Fuller, etc. for other variants) . I may have seen her at folk festivals in the 70's (not sure, i was too young), but at a house party? wow. Etta Baker (RIP), another local picker who could have shown merle travis a thing or two, played for my class once.

Her advisees, friends & students were often treated to some great performances at informal dinner parties in her home. Though Linda often grabbed me to do sound for the formal concerts by numerous folk artists, my fondest memories of their music were from these living room sessions. Often we were treated to great anecdotes as well as history about each song. Some have said I should have recorded these, but I believe it would have spoiled the 'realness' of the moments! Besides, Alan Lomax I am not. ...AAhhhh, thems was the days...... and Libba was an absolute joy to be around!
