Of course, we can't go from Sebastopol → Sylvester Poole without at least visiting Vestapol. Is there anything recognizable left? When it's Elizabeth Cotten playing, you don't have time to think of anything but her playing:

Elizabeth Cotten playing a couple of tunes (https://youtu.be/voPJENW6i4c?si=siJxI9X0vFf3cw72) with her signature lefty guitar that’s strung for a righty player. She’s alternating playing a bassline with her index finger while playing the melody with her thumb🤯

"Freight Train" is an American folk song written by #ElizabethCotten in the early 20th century, and popularized during the #AmericanFolkRevival and British #skiffle period of the 1950s and 1960s. By Cotten's own account in the 1985 #BBC series Down Home, she composed "Freight Train" as a teenager (sometime between 1906 and 1912), inspired by the sound of the trains rolling in on the tracks near her home in #NorthCarolina.

The legendary blueswoman Elizabeth Cotten with “Shake Sugaree” (https://youtu.be/p66KebI8aZM?si=-_Ks-Iro02sSoI_J). Unlike a lot of guitarists, she primarily plays with finger picking AND she’s a lefty who plays the guitar righty-style

#NowPlaying Born on this day in 1895, #ElizabethCotten taught herself to play the guitar and banjo as a child. She was left-handed yet played a guitar for a right-hander, meaning she played everything upside down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAPibSxgIyw

Hace más de 70 años la perdida de una niña provocó uno de los más sorprendentes descubrimientos de la historia de la música.
Tanto, que las consecuencias de aquel suceso aún latiendo en el alma de muchas músicas.
Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, la historia de Elizabeth Cotten.

Elizabeth Cotten (January 5, 1893 – June 29, 1987) was a self-taught left-handed guitarist who played her 1950 Martin 00-18 guitar upside down and strung for a right-handed player. This allowed her to alternate bass lines into her songs.

Just a little more blues
This is Elizabeth Cotten playing Vestapol. Originally "The Siege of Sevastopol", this instrumental was popular in late 18th/early 19th century America. Supposedly it was in a pamphlet included with guitar sales. It popularized open d - known as 'Vestapol tuning'.
Cotten was left-handed, holding her guitar upside down - picking the melody with her thumb & the base with her fingers.
