RIP Etta Baker

Etta Baker, my personal favorite of the Piedmont blues and rag guitarists died on Saturday at age 93 of a stroke. If you haven't heard her yet, I recommend picking up her album 'Railroad Bill' from the kind folks at Music Maker Relief Foundation, who helped Baker with necessities towards the end of her life. American culture lost a true treasure over the weekend.
