The Seegers knew they had a treasure of a person in Elizabeth -- and the music was the "cherry on the top". Mike Seeger and family did some research on "Freight Train" and were responsible for getting Elizabeth the writing credit. Once her music was established the Seegers treated her like a national treasure -- which, of course, she was. Ralph Rinzler of the Smithsonian Folklife Center snapped her up and I remember seeing her at the early Smithsonian Festivals of American Folklife. She was, indeed, an American treasure and such a wonderful musician and personality on the stage. I was so lucky to have seen her!

My dad used to sing "Freight Train" to me as a lullabye. He loved because when he was a young adult in the depression, his principal mode of transportation was "riding the rails" - e.g. jumping on boxcars and being a "hobo". My mom's dad had been a fireman on the steam engines, and active union member from the '20s to the end of his life. And I used to put pennies on the rails when I was a kid in the 50s. Then my brother became a slammin' lead guitarist (right-handed though). Elizabeth Cotten's musical influence has run through my life. I'm glad she has been recognized for her brilliant innovative contributions.

Fil, true story from me. I took my wife out to a spot on a lake in Texas many years ago for dinner. We were sitting out on the outside deck where the band (actually just a duet for this one) was playing, and I noticed that the guitar player was also playing one that was "backwards and upside down". I'll always be a cowboy chord player, but I can recognize a person playing right handed on a regular guitar. I bought the fellows a beer for their break and asked the gentleman how he had come by that style. His explanation was that he learned to play by watching a (much older by his story) brother. He said he learned by mirroring his brother. In any event, I was very much impressed impressed, as he was very talented and far beyond my own cowboy chords using a standard tuning on the usual instruments. Turned upside down and still tuned the same way as my own. Thanks, and thumbs up. Also, as the owner of a couple of Martin guitars, I am particularly appreciative of the instrument used in this video.

There's a two-part black and white KZbin video (posted by FolkSeattle) of Elizabeth Cotton playing about four songs per video episode; "Washington Blues" is the one that really knocks me out. (It's an instrumental, and the title is something we can all relate to these days). Whoever the cameramen was for those particular videos, likely dead and long gone by now, I salute him or her, because the close-ups of Elizabeth's left and right hands both are absolutely freaking awesome. Modern cameramen in the age of color TV never seem to do half as good a job filming musicians, especially guitarists, as was done in this particular old video. We should dig the cameraman up and clone him! PS, the same KZbinr, FolkSeattle, has black and white footage of Brownie McGhee, solo AND with Brownie, that is worth watching. Also Mance Lipscomb, Bukka White, Jesse Fuller, Fred McDowell, and others. Fantastic Footage!

Hello Fil, Nice little programme featuring this great performer Elizabeth Cotten, and just like her, I picked up a guitar nearly seventy years ago, and learned to play it without knowing that I was holding a right handed instrument. Since then I have continued to play in the same way, but chose to play the music of Django Reinhardt and have since those days played with some of the best players in the world, without thinking about it being a weird way to play. There was another great gypsy player called Patrick Saussois who played the same way, but who recently died, bless his soul, and we like thick strings too, 20thou top E and 60thou bottom E which gives a loud noise, and big fat tone great for playing outside unamplified. Keep up the great work.

(Rediscovery by the Seegers as chronicled in Wikipedia. Such a drop-dead amazing story!) "Cotten retired from playing the guitar for 25 years, except for occasional church performances. She did not begin performing publicly and recording until she was in her 60s. She was discovered by the folk-singing Seeger family while she was working for them as a housekeeper. While working briefly in a department store, Cotten helped a child wandering through the aisles find her mother. The child was Peggy Seeger, and the mother was the composer Ruth Crawford Seeger. Soon after this, Cotten again began working as a maid, this time for Ruth Crawford Seeger and Charles Seeger, and caring for their children, Mike, Peggy, Barbara, and Penny. The Seeger family kids, who were too young to pronounce "Elizabeth", began calling her "Libba", and she embraced that nickname later in life.[16] While working with the Seegers (a voraciously musical family that included Pete Seeger, a son of Charles from a previous marriage), she remembered her own guitar playing from 40 years prior and picked up the instrument again and relearned to play it, almost from scratch." (Then Mike Seeger just happened to be an open young man who was so interested in this kind of music that he produced home reel to reel tapes that went on to become famous as "folk music" began to go more mainstream. One of those stories that just blows your head open! Goes to show that we should all be open to the inner lives of all the people who are around us. We can nurture them, and they can nurture us!)
