-- California dreaming2017., First Second Call No: GRAPHIC NOVELS Edition: 1st American ed. 20 Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Before she was the legendary Mama Cass of the folk group The Mamas and the Papas, Ellen Cohen was a teen girl from Baltimore with an incredible voice, incredible confidence, and incredible dreams. She dreamed of being not just a singer but a star. Not just a star--a superstar. So, at the age of nineteen, Ellen left her hometown and became Cass Elliot. At her size, Cass was never going to be the kind of girl that record producers wanted on album covers. But she found an unlikely group of co-conspiritors, and in their short time together, this bizarre and disfunctional band recorded some of the most memorable songs of their era.

[2018], Primary, Chronicle Books Call No: B Cot Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Elizabeth Cotten was only a little girl when she picked up a guitar for the first time. It wasn't hers (it was her big brother's), and it wasn't strung right for her (she was left-handed). But she flipped that guitar upside down and backwards and taught herself how to play it anyway. By age eleven, she'd written "Freight Train," one of the most famous folk songs of the twentieth century. And by the end of her life, people everywhere from the sunny beaches of California to the rolling hills of England knew her music.
