Hi. Dixie Feldman here. (Dixie LaRue is a nom de plume of sorts.) Perhaps you know me by my "slave name," Sarah Feldman.
I currently writing a book that may or may not be called THE LOST ART OF BEING A DAME. (Maybe A DAME'S GUIDE TO LIFE, THE TAO OF DAME...what do you think?)
If you read below, ypu'll find I like old stuff (flea markets, old movies, vintage clothes, collecting retro femorabilia), I like to move (running, swing dancing), I like animals (I'm a vegetarian and I live with many animals -- including my dogs Lulu and Dr. Waffles, my African Grey parrot Butch, and 4 other parrots). I like to read (philosophy, metaphysics, femorabilia). And I'm learning to play the accordion (sorta).
Who I'd like to meet: My birth mother, or any other blood relatives. Jesus. Marcus Aurelius. Jerry and Esther Hicks. Gypsy Rose Lee. Jean Harlow. Myrna Loy. Jane Goodall.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Hey Dixie, thanks for accepting our add request. Here's hoping that you'll join us when we return to NYC in early 2009. In the meanwhile, if you'll allow this bunch of fakers to take liberty with the immortal words of "Uncle" Neil Young, keep on rockin' in the DAME world!
