As I've gotten older, I've gotten more particular about the venue. No more moshing and such - I see 90% of my shows now in NYC at City Winery. I sit at a reserved table up front, no more hassles. I sometimes shoot surreptitious videos there too. If you want to check out a few - go here. The acoustic Mavericks videos are some nice ones.
Thanks for the link, I followed up on many of the others there and you're right, she was indeed talented.
Notice the Black and white videos of her lounge appearances.....the audience is filled with nothing but white gentlemen in their coats and ties and their lady friends....
This was a time when racism WAS in effect
“feeling Good” is one of my favorites of hers.

In listening to a bit of the music just now, that is what my mind conjured up. Like from an old movie where the music can be heard but doesn’t drown out a conversation.
Did a quick pass thru the Mavericks, Clinch Mountain Boys (did Ralph Stanley really want to be there?) and found Raul Malo's Stardust quite interesting.
To which end, allow me to share the greatest version of the greatest song ever written -- Lionel Hampton All Stars -- Stardust
Lawdy, I'd have loved to be there for that!

I saw Lionel Hampton. He was great. I noticed his bassist was Jimmy Woode who had played with Duke Ellington and talked to him later.
