This sweet,sweet woman brings tears to my eyes and joy to my ears. Raised 9 kids and plays so soft&low.She is in heaven right now pickin' under a tree and smilin'. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PERSON.
Her father was Boone Reid and can be heard playing guitar with Etta Baker and Taj Mahal on an earlier recording, however he never produced any individual recordings
I just found my hero, coolest person ever!
THIS is were it ALL comes from folks! This is history! This woman is amazing!
She's a doll!
Sounds a lot of country music, both old and new. Amazing. She's so humble. Sweet lady and very talented of course.
what a beautiful person
R.I.P Etta Baker
Thank you so much for posting this...
The Piedmont Blues are one of the best things about being alive.
so humble for all her amazing ability
I would say that THIS is the place (North Carolina) where she came from and also my favorite - Elizabeth Cotton - absolute genius
Etta is tuned up ½ note. gave me a sweat. looks so easy, sounds so sweet. real Expert!!
Oh wow. Thanks for sharing this.
A heartwarming video of a fantastic artist. Thanks for sharing!
If you like this, Mrs Etta Baker, Family and Friends' 'Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians' is a great album.
Bless you, Miss Etta for all the music in your life!
Thanks for the response. I am here in Morganton NC where Etta lived most of her adult life. Boone Reid was only recorded playing solo banjo in the 1950's.
enjoyed, especially the a bit of story about her!
Cool music too!
A treasure indeed.
Once again- Thanks for posting. AMAZING - Just about a 100% AMAZING STUFF. 5 stars
Totally absorbing - what a wonderful woman!
First time I've heard of this wonderful lady,loved this! Thanks so much for posting it!❤

She is a treasure indeed. And there is a course at Homespun from her as well! Gotta put that on my wish list.
What a sweet sound!
Etta has such a great feel for phrasing, swing and percussive touch when needed
a real gem of a player and personality. Cheers fae Bonnie Scotland to all the pickers out there.
Great music, keep on pickin' Etta!
Etta Bahow great pure great the best short on words to say how great
Amazing girl, it's just in the blood !
3:43 now i know wherefrom Eric Clapton did this lick. So nice. thats music
I need to find one of these kind of old ppl that can still rock out on the guitar and study under them in exchange that do house work for them or something, I wanna be playing until I'm as old as her
i like her accent
effortless playing
RIPeace
Wow since I discovered Piedmont-Style I am so in love again. Super nice Lady!! Does anyone know if there is a lesson to the piece starting at 1:50 ?? Would appreciate an answer :)
Did you ever find out how to play the song you were asking about?
beautiful player thanks for posting banjofolk, i wonder if her hair is still naturally that dark
Watch Doc Watson and he plays pretty much the same way.
that's what they call an interview. And I don't think he's asking stupid questions, i think you're the one asking stupid questions.
That made them be quiet...
Playing with thumb and forefinger is an African retention....
why is this guy asking stupid questions???
