She probably wouldn't have been trying to make a living as a photographer if that had been the case. Her contact with Paul McCartney changed her life completely. What a way to become a singer and musician.
Mom had a tour of the Dew Drop Inn the other day and they spoke specifically about little Richard hearing Tutti Frutti at the Dew Drop Inn and that being what made him decide to go in that direction vs the Ray Charles like direction his label was pushing
Pffft. Baltimore gave us Frank Zappa, Momma Cass Elliott, Eubie Blake, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, and John Doe. End of discussionI grew up with that song being a regular part of the radio airwaves. But I am happy to learn today that it was born in Gentilly.
There's a LOT of incredible music heritage around here!
TIL that ..... MY HUSBAND ALREADY KNEW THIS AND NEVER TOLD ME!!!!
TIL this. Woulda sworn that was a FACT!
You forgot Ethel Waters. You could maybe include Crack the Sky. But still no. You know I love my Bawlmer, Murlan, hon ..... but New Orleans is the shiznit for music.Pffft. Baltimore gave us Frank Zappa, Momma Cass Elliott, Eubie Blake, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, and John Doe. End of discussion
And Greg Kihn
Crack the Sky was actually from Weirton, WV. Their excellent eponymous first album had problems with distribution nationwide, but for some reason Baltimore got an inordinate amount of the available albums, hence their popularity in the Baltimore area. Sadly, following the distribution gaffe the band never gained national notoriety.

Actually Baltimore is well known for classical music due to its symphony orchestra and Meyerhoff theater. I wouldn’t know too much about that cuz nekulturny
Ballmer put 'em on the map. Good enough for me.
Kinda like seafood. Lots of great recipes, but not all of them. You ain't lived till you've been to Baltimore and put mayo and Old Bay on your French friesI said that New Orleans has “a LOT” of music heritage.
Not all of it.
you e been kidnapped correct?You ain't lived till you've been to Baltimore and put mayo and Old Bay on your French fries
Old Bay is the shiznet. You can take your Tony Cachere and shove it.
You’re both kidnapped?
I'm triggered by my inability to find Old Bay when I first moved down here. I can find it now but the trauma is real. I've never done the mayo thing but I'm also not opposed to it. I'm more an onion ring person which, now that I think about it, mayo would be AWESOME on. So if someone wants to kidnap me and feed me onion rings and mayo and Old Bay, I'd be down for it
Old Bay is solid but a bit 1 note, no problem with it.
