Aha! Indeed you did lady, I thought I recognized you. BTBW... I love those seminars, always learn so much. Wish there were more hours in the day. Hope your music's going well? All good here with a smashing new album in the offing. xxxx
Tried to call you but I think I made a mistake in dialing. Then got distracted so I will try again. You look more beautiful than ever. I love the new photograph. Very sophysticated, cute, and chicque. Have you noticed one of your songs on my Bio page? You should go and listen as well as take a look at my profile. Surely you have forgotten about me? I have not added anything to it of late even though there are things to add and remove. I must update it.
You are a very special friend LB. You take advicem,and you develope and expand and that is a great trait about you. I love what you are doing now, and you can see how far you have leapt from the beginnings to now. I am so very proud of you. I should come by more often, but I am banned from being on the computer. I will be OK soon. I have some good news to share with you and will talk on the phone or in an e'mail. But for you? You are a terrific success story, and I am very proud to call you my friend. Oh yes, you want to contact the Delta Blues Museum and they will give you the details for the Jazz Festival. You might find it on the Web. The Jazz and Blues Festival is held in Greenville Mississippi, not Greenwood. And it is too late for this year, but try getting on that circuit, and let me know when you are going so I can make the journey. We drove from Dallas to Greenville, and had a whale of a time as we travelled. We stopped in all the historic places or places that some people would not bother about, and had all the local food, see all the local sites, and just take in Mississippi modern and historical. Being Black, it means a lot to me. It is a spectacular place. You cannot go to Mississippi and do not try the river boats. The casinos are also great places to eat, and play if you are interested. The hotels are good. We stayed in town then drove out to where the Festival was being staged. Think about it!
Sweet Little Bird: Darling it is so good to stop and listen for the past half an hour to you singing and playing. The transition is fantastic! It's a great leap, and I knew and trusted in you, and you have shone through magnificiently. I love the work in progress so very much. You have a fantastically unique voice that does what you want it to. I love your treatment of each song on the playlist. I adore the bluesy voice, and look, I just love your work so what else can I say? I am very proud of you--so very proud! You will reach the top and I am confident of that. I hope that you will try to get on to the programme for the Greenwood, Mississippi Jazz and Blues festival one year. It is usualy in September/October. I will get the details and let you have it. But there is a big break if you can get it. I will see what I can do and get you a booking. How's that if I can pull it off? I have obviously been there and loved it very much. It is an out door festival with all the big names in the business playing there. Good luck my friend. I love you very much. Have a wonderful week.
