BIOGRAPHY

Hey Joan...Bright Moments!

It's ALWAYS a "Bright Moment" hearing from you with some "Sunshine" about your constant determination to travel through the world of "Jazz", as "Up Hill" as it always seems to be! I really admire your tenacity! Keep doing what you're doing, it's wonderful!

Hopefully, your Spirit is being properly nutritionally fed with all of the variety of things that you make happen! My world is also holding it's own musically... check out my webite, it's always being updated with New and Current stuff!!

Some really exciting events have been surfacing in my world. Last year was incredible and, if God wills, this year will be just as or even more exciting than last year! Let's you and I pray on the success of our visions, our family, the health of our Body and Minds, Positive Creative Energy each day and that, hopefully, this year we'll finally SEE EACH OTHER once again!!!!

Keep sending me stuff!
Love, Peace, and Music,
Trudy

DOROTHY DONEGAN (1945)


Miss Sandra Kaye sings "What Will I Tell My Heart?"

Linda Hopkins' Tribute to Bessie Smith

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Who I'd like to meet:
Women who perform and blues jazz music.

Maia plays a beautiful rendition of "Afro Blue" on harp:

Rachelle Ferrell is one of the most phenomenal singers to grace a stage anywhere in the world!

I first met her in Philly, when she was only 18. She sang "Bye Bye Blackbird" and blew us all away! In Montreux, backstage, Chaka Khan said to me, "she can sang!" Yes, Rachelle is a sangin' machine! She is an instrument that cannot be denied.

Watch all of her videos at YouTube.com
