[@brendaevans3240]

Elizabeth Cotten is my great grandmother. I am Brenda Evans, one of the great grands who she mentioned who added verses to the song Shake Sugaree. I am also the vocalist featured on her album Shake Sugaree. It is so wonderful to read the comments each of you have written. It makes me happy and grateful to know that you appreciate her music. Thank you!

Thank you, Brenda! It's wonderful to read this comment! Are you doing well?

That's awesome! How great that experience had to be. Love her music and sweet personality, so awesome. I heard freight train a few months ago and was in awe. Just found out a few minutes ago she was born in chapel hill, I just left there a few minutes ago literally, it's only 10 miles from me!

Freight train was the first song I learnt to play

Same here. At thirteen, I saw her on Pete Seeger's PBS show. I was immediately smitten and committed to learning it. Still a wonderful song.
