2. I was blown away!

I don't know where I've been all my life, but I'd never heard of Sister Rosetta until a few minutes ago.
I googled "ain't gonna study war no more" (in response to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1034294) and her youtube vid appeared.
I checked out a few more and, man oh man, can she play!

jamming "Down By The Riverside" and "Fighting A Losing Battle" . . . on one of the episodes of Pete's tv show, "Rainbow Quest", in the 60s . . .

4. Was gonna post this - you beat me to it!

What a time capsule from the late 50s/early 60s. I'll bet Chuck Berry and Ray Charles were in the audience - no wait! Awesome clip. Would have liked to seen the piano player.
