I saw her live on stage once back in the early 1960's during the "Folk Boom." I remember being there specifically to see Peter, Paul & Mary and there were several folks on the bill including Libby Cotton & Doc Watson. (It was the first I had heard of Doc Watson.)

Sad the opposite is true today, instead of paying a dollar or two to see a bunch of great acts,
you get to pay hundreds to see one so-so act.
