Etta Baker, American musician
March 12, 2012 3:45 AM Subscribe

Guitarist Etta Baker worked in a textile mill, raised nine children, and didn’t take her music to the stage until she was 60 years old. Fortunately for all of us, she continued to play and record right up until her death in 2006 at the age of 93.

This is awesome. I was just telling my teammates at work about her a few weeks ago. I saw her a few times at Merlefest and it was magic every time. You close your eyes and you swear there are two people up there playing guiars. It's that banjo style finger picking Piedmont blues.

Awesome, as usual, flapjax. Etta Baker should be a household name, if only for One Dime Blues.

I have always been a sucker for the alternating bass of acoustic country blues. I literally played the grooves off that Etta Baker/Taj Mahal album. The Crow Jane cut on that album is incredible.

Thanks for that, IndigoJones. Certainly didn't come up when I previewed the post.

A friend of mine loves finger picking. He's pretty good at it and has learned quite a few of Etta Baker's songs. It seems like it's pretty difficult to deconstruct all the layers. It's nice to finally hear the originals.

Love her beautiful fingerplucking. Thanks so much for posting this. Marvelous post flapjax!

This is a great story. Thank you so much for bringing this to light, I had no idea about this incredible woman.

Good stuff. Amazing woman.

Great post.

“Why?” asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered—Caro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement—it was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME 苍井空番号迅雷链接 ENTER NUMBET 0017
