Here she is! Playing at the first Arkansas Folk Festival (ca. 1963) at the Stone County Courthouse in Mountain View, Arkansas. She's just wonderful...
A course in the Visual Studies program at U.C. Berkeley--the old songs, and the feel of the places they come from--taken in all possible senses...

Good work, Birta! I'd read just this week that Ollie Gilbert was perhaps better known than we thought--and part of the "folk revival" phenomenon, playing festivals and such. Still, to see her in the photo, gives me the sense that her singing and her presence are all of one piece...
extra credit for Birta! Yay!
She looks so sad and taken away by the sound that she is making. Beautiful black and white photograph!
Brava, Birta, brava!
