Summary
A fictionalized account of how an eleven-year-old African-American girl, Elizabeth 'Libba' Cotten, saved to buy her first guitar and composed the popular folksong, 'Freight Train' includes a brief summary of her life's work and awards.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Elizabethâs Song tells the inspirational story based on the young life of the noted African American folksinger, guitarist, and songwriter, Elizabeth âLibbaâ Cotten. Elizabeth borrows a guitar from a friend and teaches herself to play it left-handed. Eventually, Elizabeth earns enough money to buy a guitar of her own and, when only eleven years old, writers her first song. That song, âFreight Train,â has become a folk music classic. Elizabethâs unique style of playing guitar (upside down and backwards), from which the term âcotton-pickingâ is derived, has inspired countless other artists.
