This may not be the place for this, but when we get the inevitable post on the New Mexican drug colonoscopy and anal probe, please, in the name of all that is holy - no crack jokes.
An exclusion would of course apply to Crack Emcee.
Did Louis Armstrong ever make any records with Ethel Waters? Ethel Waters had such a warm, kind voice. It was as sunny as his trumpet solos. She's approaching obscurity now, but I would rate her higher than some other more famous singers of that era.

This disgusts me.
Could I ask you to put more precision on the direction of your invective?
I posted this song because it was "lost" to me for about 20 years. The song was one of several on an audio cassette tape given to me by a young German (a concert string player-though I can't remember which instrument and I never saw him play). He was part of a social group my girlfriend and I used to hang out with over there.
I lost or played out the cassette somewhere over the years but yesterday I found the plastic shell along with his handwritten song list and his own "liner notes."

A pool filled with cabana boys blowing bottles.
Those voices are so smooth. They don't make em' like that anymore.
Aaackk!!
Apparently there is no escaping the Meadehouse juggernaut.
I watched about 5 minutes of the weather channel and just before I clicked away they ran a feature on today's top 5 home videos.
At number 3 was a short clip of three dogs playing in a light snow.
And there, right there, in the top right corner of the video it said "YouTube/Meade Laurence."
At least I learned that Zeus is doing OK.

I grew up with great music, and people who listened to great music, and who could make great music.
It's all obscurity now.

The same goes for people of other Arts.
Shame on them, I think.

Me, mostly.
