Jazz for aficionados
Rok, she's from St. Louis. Although she was born in Mississippi, St. Louis is where she became famous, and her star is on the St. Louis walk of fame. I recall seeing the video on PBS with her and Thomas Dorsey; that was when St. Louis was an entirely different city, it was a good place to live then; but the same thing can be said for most of the cities in this country. Enjoy the music. |
O-10: ******she was born in Mississippi****** well, everyone who became anyone, was! :) *****St. Louis was an entirely different city, it was a good place to live then; but the same thing can be said for most of the cities in this country.******* I know what you mean. You can surely add Atlanta to that list. It's what happens when The Lord is absent from people's lives. They now put their faith in the Government! You know the government, they are the folks that gave us the 'Great Society' :( We may never recover from that lunacy! Cheers |
Rok, although I hate to go from "jazz" to other issues, this time I must. While I like gospel, that CD "Say Amen Somebody", and my fond memories of what St. Louis was like at that time, the demise of St. Louis, ain't about "The Lord", it's about greedy people who sucked the money out of everybody's pockets, and left them poverty stricken, as can be illustrated on this website. http://wp.me/p2vRlu-4 |
Oscar Hijuelos Dead: Pulitzer-Winning Novelist Dies At 62 "The Mambo Kings Play Songs Of Love" Was the title of the Novel that won him the prize He was Cuban and a New Yorker. I wonder if he was also into Cuban music. The book's title and all. Perhaps The Frogman is familiar with his work and can offer insight. Cheers |
