Does anyone know of any recordings done of Bertie Mae Dickens? Maybe in some sort of compilation or at a N.C. or Virginia university where ever. Brad Leftwich had a workshop on two finger pickers of Carroll County and i now have tabs transcribed from two of her tunes but have never heard her play.

Sounds nice the way i'm playing it whether it sounds at all like her, i have no idea. Love to make up a vocal for it one day.
