General Note/Comment

  • Two reel to reel recordings. Tammy Murray served as emcee. Often called the 'Queen of Florida Folk,' Fitchen debuted at the Florida Folk Festival at fifteen in 1966 as Eugenia Sisinni. Born in Orlando, Fitchen has played most of the festivals ever since, as well as many others including the Beers' Fox Hollow Festival. In 1999 she was nominated for a Grammy for her album, Roads. Fitchen told a story about each song.
