Acclaimed American folk guitarist Elizabeth Cotten hadn’t played for over three decades until, by chance, she began working as housekeeper for the famed Seeger family of folk singers & musicologists. Inspired to resume playing, Cotten went on to win a Grammy in 1986, received a National Heritage Fellowship & in 2022 was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

This Bluescentric Brand blues music children's t-shirt is available in premium lightweight 4.2oz Youth Small through XL. Solid colors are 100% airlume combed and ringspun cotton. Athletic Heather is 90% cotton.  

This t-shirt design features a photo of Blind Willie McTell with a twelve string guitar in a hotel room in Atlanta, Georgia.

Taken in November of 1940, McTell would have been 42 years old. Interestingly, the photo was taken by Ruby Lomax, the wife of great musicologist Alan Lomax. The photo now resides in the Library of Congress for posterity. 

Blurry and dramatic, posing with an unusual guitar and obscured face, McTell fittingly resembles a ghost in this photo. So the shirt design prints only the white portions of the photo. The text in the bottom says "Blind Willie McTell."
