Well actually the day before yesterday, January 5 was the birthday of blues and folk musician Elizabeth Cotten. She was born in 1895 and she passed away on June 29, 1987.
I was going to try to write something that would indicate how much I like her music, but then it dawned on me, that really words do not capture the simple elegance that was Elizabeth Cotten. I just reccomend that you watch and listen to as much of her as you can, while you can.
I recommend that you take a look at this Elizabeth Cotten Interviewer with Shetland Fiddler Aly Bain, from his 1985 Series Down Home.

Her songs seem to me to be just right, like they were always there, inevitable.
