Karen Dalton (AKA “Sweet Mother K.D.) was a folk-blues singer and a part of the early 1960s scene in New York’s Greenwich Village. She played a 12-string guitar and banjo. Her idiosyncratic voice (and missing tooth) saw her called “the hillbilly Billie Holiday” and sadly, the comparison was apt in more ways than just one.

Thanks Tom. Thank you also for dropping off the labour songs CD. I'm assuming it was you. The footprints indicated it was either you or Bigfoot and I don't believe in Bigfoot. Hope you're taking lots of pics.
