~~~ ''THE LADY OF THE DAY'' ~~~ My hat goes off to the inventor and poster-child of "The Blues" of Jazz, or, to my mind, "Hurtin' Songs" of Country Music, or a "Lenten Psalm" in the old "Negro Spirituals". She hurt lots, she wrote about hurt real good, and sang Hurtin' Songs the best because she never knew anything else but hurtin', so, without further ado, Ladies 'n' Gents, I present...the one, the only, the Billie Holiday.
For a very active Billy Holiday Fan Club in the UK that began way back in 1946, when Billie was 31 years old - if my Math is correct. For any latest updates on archive-finds, new tributes, and so on keep your eyes peeled on their website.

I love singing on my walks with my Shadow and Smokey dogs. I like Good Sports.
