Wow these good days... i've also been called the "mother of blues". My most popular songs are... Black Dust Blues and Black Eye Blues.
Hello Ma! You are truly an amazing person! I admire you greatly for the struggles you had as an African-American woman, as well as an artist. Times can be hard, but us artists stick through and always end up sharing what we love with the world!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic woman to give so much respect for I too admire your hard work in times of hope. I agree with lotte; there's the bad times and good times but you cant take talent away from a true artist.
