Is Maybelle Carter popular again?

From JoyfulPickin on 5/28/2012 11:18:46 AM

I became interested in her style of pickin last night when it was mentioned in my flatpicking book,and I noticed books & DVDs about her style are selling like hotcakes-is there a resurgence I'm not aware of?

I have a book "Guitar Greats" and the only woman in it is Maybelle Carter. Her guitar, a Gibson L-5 archtop cost more than a car at the time and Elvis used to borrow it on occasion. Yes, I'd love to learn how she played.

I don't know about a resurgence, but you gotta love Ma Maybelle-- Heather Mabe, a young lady down south plays her style better than anyone else. I saw some great youtubes of her (:
