Below is a note from Doug Yeager.  It is still hard to believe that Odetta has left us.  We were lucky to have been in her presence and to be blessed by the gifts she shared with us.

ODETTA

December 31, 1930 – December 2, 2008

 

 

In my heart, I know she is up there leading the choir,

while still correcting any and all injustices she sees down here

 

We all dearly miss you down here. . .  

 

God Bless You Odetta
