I had the thrill of meeting her as I helped her up to and down from the stage in a Baltimore jazz club long ago.
She passed away soon after.
But she will never die.
Thanks so much, DB, for the memories.
S
Wow!!!!
Gaillard & Stewart? Only second time I've heard them, think the first was here, also! Incredible.
Elle, with Transfer? Wow. Man that's a voice to miss and love.
The phone op? Great, reminded me of Bob Newhart, or even a bit of One Ringie Thingie. Sort of a Bob And Ray duet. Sweet.
But it was the Lambert, Hendricks And Ross that got me busted out bawlin. Love that trio. Popitty Pop, Goes The Motorsiccle . . . . Three giants they were. And what Hendricks went on to do.
Never HEARD of Johnny Standley, He's great!
Sarah just used up three more tissues.
Your mom? Well, she MUST be special if these are her favs. Course, she's special, cuz she raised YOU.
Nice work, DB's mom, and happy birthday, ma'am!
DB, ya GOT me on this one . . . thanks. *sniff*
Ok, I'm fine. No, really. I'll be fine. (looking for more Ella, Sarah, and LH&Ross. My Annie Ross was fine)
*G*
Glad that you two enjoyed it, and thanks.
