Perhaps you've not heard much from Etta Gere. She doesn't say or do much, mostly stands around woodenly, like a piece of furniture. ;-)

Thanks Everyone. I have to check out her sister because my middle name is Rosetta Mae. Maybe it's a sign too. Will also check out Memphis Minnie, Etta Baker and Etta Gere? And I do like finger picking. Well most of it anyway when it creates a roll of notes that either is going in or going out of the hook. :) So many good choices, Thanks a bunch guys.

And then there's that mysterious soul, Etta Gere...

There is some good stuff here: 78 RPMs & Cylinder Recordings

If you like good finger picking you might want to check out Etta Baker too.

Etta was a great.  Neat story.  Check out Sister Rosetta Tharp and Memphis Minnie on youtube.  A couple of my faves.   Good luck on the tunes.  Keep it fairly simple and do em in your own way.
