This week 40 years ago blues/gospel musician Flora Molton and her protege Eleanor Ellis played a show at Hartwick. The two met in 1983 when Ellis chauffered Molton, who was partially blind, to a music festival. Molton continued as a street performer into her 80s, until her death in 1990. Ellis is still active and is a celebrated master of country and Piedmont blues.
