A friend posted this and I was mesmerized. First of all seeing a women play blues guitar and WELL is incredible, then it's in the 60's!! And the venue is this awesome old train station. In April - May 1964, at the height of a surge of popular interest in the blues, Sister Rosetta Tharpe toured the UK as part of the "American Folk Blues and Gospel Caravan", alongside Muddy Waters and Otis Spann, Ranson Knowling and Little Willie Smith, Reverend Gary Davis, Cousin Joe and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Tharpe was introduced on stage and accompanied on piano by Cousin Joe Pleasant.
