This is my blog where I write about music, jewelry, and myself. Vaudeville, burlesque, blues, jazz, songs about baltimore, novelties, and whatever else I feel like posting. Mostly from my own LPs and 78s. Subscribe via any of the methods in the right-hand column. Please do not link directly to the mp3 files.
3 videos I enjoy
I've realized I can search youtube for videos I used to have.
By now you may have heard that the iconic Eartha Kitt passed away. Im not going to post any photos because I don't have any of my own. I recommend, as always, the galleries at Java's Bachelor Pad. I do however, have a 78.. I think this may have been one of my first 78s. It's been awhile since I listened to it. Of course she was present in many of our consciousnesses(consciousness?) due to the annual holiday presence of her classic Santa Baby. That vibrato kills me.
I was just exploring the wonderful world of youtube jazz enthusiasts. There's some live videos, home-made photo montages, and stills with music. The song "Cryin' For The Carolines" goes along with my theme of the sadness of people who've left the country for the big city. The Ruth Etting version is good and sad.
Hey pals, some of the songs on here are up for a limited amount of time. If you are the owner of a song posted here, let me know if you want it removed, and I will do so!
