SKU:13019DVD
Freight Train will be a century old in the year 2005. Its author didn't quite live to become a centenarian herself, though she did win a Grammy (Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording for Elizabeth Cotten Live) when she was 93. Both the song and its author are inexorably linked in the minds of most anyone aware of either, yet this DVD vividly demonstrates that there was far more to Elizabeth Cotten and her music than Freight Train. This DVD presents three concert performances by Elizabeth Cotten recorded in 1969, 1978 and 1980. Recollections of her life and music are prompted in the 1978 concert by interviewer Mike Seeger, who played a major role in recording Cotten's repertoire. Mike is also close by in the 1969 and 1980 performances. From 1969: Freight Train, What a Friend We Have In Jesus, Ruben, Vestapol, Washington Blues, A Jig and Spanish Flang Dang. From 1978: Freight Train, Wilson Rag, Georgia Buck, Rattler, Spanish Flang Dang, Judy's Got a Rambling Mind, Mama, Your Son's Done Gone, Wreck of the Old 97, Jesus Is Tenderly Calling Today, Vestapol, Buck Dance, Oh, Babe, It Ain't No Lie, Ontario Blues, Mama, Where's the Baby and others. From 1980: Graduation March, Freight Train, Spanish Flang Dang and Shake Sugaree.

I love it, the entonation is really very good (sorry for my bat english).
Regards!
My wife has unbelievable rhythm and always taps along with music. The tunable was a surprise gift she instantly loved and played along with an old Steve Miller CD.
I was fortunate to have an opportunity to play a Nash Tavewa clay drone flute while on vacation. You cannot play one and not want to add one of these fabulous flutes to your collection. In a search for one of Nash’s flutes I found that Lark in the Morning knows quality instruments and seen they carried Nash Tavewa’s beautiful flutes. I ordered this beautiful Nash Tavewa harmony drone which shipped and arrived quickly. The voice of this flute is spectacular and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it daily. I have many wood Native American Style flutes in my collection but this clay flutes voice is unique and transending. If you are a flute player and do not have a Nash Tavewa clay flute in your collection I would highly recommend reaching out to Lark in the Morning to see what they may have available and or what may be coming. Lark in the Morning obviously knows their great artisan’s and unique instruments. Thank you Lark in the Morning for having that perfect Nash Tavewa Clay Harmony flute I was looking for to add to my collection!
Great costumer service. Fast shipping!
I have had my Roosebeck 19 string Pixie harp since 1988 and it still looks and sounds as it did when I first bought it! Maybe a little scuffed up from carrying it around, and a few tunings, but I have loved its beautiful carvings and teaching myself to play it has been a joy! Back then it only cost $175.00, but what it goes for new these days is certainly worth it! When I retire my old girl, I'm going to buy the next one here!
