What a great video. Great music, great people, great stories, great history. Thanks for sharing. I wish I would've been friends with Etta - she seemed like a wonderful person.

The comment about her not liking to take other people's music is really interesting. I would have loved to ask her why she felt that way.

Etta said that the music kept her going and that she praticed an hour a day. Well I wish everyone would pick up a "geetar" cause everyone I know that does gets and gives so much in return. I've seen it work miracles. Thanks to David and especially Edda.

David is a true Americian treasure. He has done a lot of work to insure that the Carolina blues does not die out. I got the chance to hear and meet him. He is a very nice, down to earth person. Both David and Etta are true Carolina legend. God bless them.
