| Jazz for aficionados I submit some of the best music in my collection, and this bunch wants to talk about Ella clowning around with Frank for one minute and eight seconds, singing off key and not even getting the words right. I don't know the context to that episode, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In regard to Ella; there she is, just clowning around with Frank Sinatra, and she probably didn't even choose the song. Something like that would hardly stand up to scrutiny; I wonder what she sounds like in the shower? | |
| Jazz for aficionados In that movie "Round Midnight" Dexter Gordon wasn't acting, he just walked on the set and continued his daily role in life as "Dexter Gordon", jazz musician. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Each one of her songs is a short story unto itself. "Fancy" is deep when you read it as survival and success. Morality will not put food on the table, nor a roof over anyone's head. | |
| Jazz for aficionados We were discussing the Blues before my trolley jumped it's tracks. I wonder how many people woke up with the Blues this morning. They woke up with the Tokyo Blues in Tokyo; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvsdNDOdpbcAnd they woke up with ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary_jo, it's always good to hear from you, that's because you have such a refreshing point of view.I'm glad you like Bobby Gentry; I've been in love with her since the first time I heard her voice when I was crossing that bridge. She's so authen... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Trentmemphis, there were two high end salons in this area, they were both located where the richest people in St. Louis live; the Mercedes, Jaguar types. I spent as much time as I could in those salons, and I learned a lot; those are the only pla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Trentmemphis, I like this primarily because I think she looks very pretty here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_R9AGDvXe4She sounds really good on this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs7YlqUSH1k | |
| Jazz for aficionados Trentmemphis, Carmen is one of, if not my favorite female vocalists. That's my least favorite album by her though. I'll see what I can recommend and get back to you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados It takes a lot of money, and many skilled people to put up a TV Station; I didn't mean to imply that me and Larry Rice put up a TV Station. I got the audio working when nobody else could, he would remember that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados That just goes to show, things are messed up all over the place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_c5ff0EEcA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j73cjA1IcJwI donated a few months to Larry Rice's New Life Shelter, where we utilized my ele... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm just refreshing my memory on how I got to "Bobby Gentry" who is not jazz. That was in honor of Trentmemphis who is from "The Delta", I think. Is that correct Trentmemphis? Her album depicts "The Mississippi Delta" as a very colorful rural s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I remember it was in August, and the year must have been 67, because the song wasn't on the radio or any where in St. Louis; it was spank brand new, and just being tested in Mississippi.I was cruising across that bridge in my new 66 Deuce; short f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You're welcome Mary_jo; "Ode To Billy Joe" is one of the most fantastic tunes to ever come out, and the beautiful "Bobby Gentry" sang it beautifully. Her album, and music describes "The Delta" in a most colorful manner.That song came on just as I ... |
