Diamond Teeth Mary McClain - "Old Folks at Home"

Inside a mobile studio on the banks of the Suwannee River during the 1997 Florida Folk Festival the legendary Diamond Teeth Mary McClain sat down with Liz Pennock to record "Old Folks at Home." This was Mary's last known studio recording, she was 96 at the time. Inside the studio Leslie Gaines interviewed Mary and filmed some of the recording session. Pete has boxes of Leslie's old Betacam tapes from the 1997 Florida Folk Festival that Tim is digitizing. Included among those tapes, and presented here for the first time, is that interview with Diamond Teeth Mary and two alternate takes from the "Old Folks at Home" recording session.
