     (*Chris Strachwitz writes about how hearing Hopkins on the radio
helped him decide his path in life and his founding of Arhoolie hoping to
record him live and how he blown away he was to see Hopkins live in the
late 50s and how he was never able to capture the energy of those
performances in the recordings he Was eventually able to do. One of the
things it was easy to forget about Dolly with all the other parts of her
that kept resonating up until her death was how fearless she was in singing
songs that were not obvious and knocking them out of the park. I played her
just killing Stairway to Heaven, "making it her own" and here she does that
with Shine. And there are many other examples.*)
