Admittedly prior to Wolf's latest video posting, the first time I read/ heard "churl" was (I believe) on a Dixie Dregs album cover.

Paul,
The " Early Modern English "   1500-1800, lexicon of vocabulary, offers a large bouquet of  what now are  presently considered archaic word choices as well as sentence structure.  I am currently studying all, and any, English  examples  of this time period, Prose, Poetry and Drama.

Honoring her birthday.
Happy Bday Libba!

Call me picky, but you'd think if they were going to write a song for her, they'd at least spell "Cotten" correctly..........

Peter

Picky! 
Spelling aside it is a beautiful ode.

Somehow the term "picky" doesn't feel right in a discussion of Elizabeth Cotten ... and especially in a discussion about Elizabeth Cotton!

Bill, tgo (just call me s**t stirrer!)

Watching her pick makes my mind fuzzy.

As I believe I have mentioned, in '77 I had the honor of seeing her in a small club; sat (with 4 members of Chicago folk royalty) close enough to watch every move her fingers made.  One and all were awe-struck.

I've been listening to Fried Glass Onions Vol1 & 2. Like many cover compilations there is the occasional arrangement that does nothing for me but overall they are all very good. On a side note in a former band we use to cover their arrangement of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and it always went over well with the audience.

I'll see your Memphis & raise you Chicago (even though they're actually from Brazil):  https://youtu.be/xaDsbnhK2CQ?list=PLP0FlIKYPjFHrf6CL2JXWgW7l5UpdY8r5

haven't heard fIREHOSE in years, thanks...

Of course Yesterday is a blues song!  Just didn't realize it until today...

Paul (who drove from Milwaukee to Philly and back with only If'n, fROMOHIO and Flyin' the Flannel on cassettes back in the day - and never got sick of them 😂)

I had never heard of them. Personally I like this one with or without the solos much better.

It's that day again... behold, the dawn of Spacegrass.
