To all you Mothers, and to all you children- have yourselves a lovely day.
I give you the Divine Miss Billie and the always amazing and suave Count Basie. Because Mamma adored them both and some of her happiest memories were seeing them both play in numerous venues. Some of my happiest memories are recalling how her face lit up when she told me the tales of her adventures club hopping with Daddy.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day.
Sage- Thanks! I hope Homer got you something nice.
Billie Holiday totally rocks!
Happy Mother's Day kid!
probably my favorite female singer....there is none better...happy mothers day...
Your mother got to see Billie? I must bow and kiss the hem of your skirt. Your mother sounds like quite the lady, and I am jealous of some of her experiences. I will never forget the first time I heard Strange Fruit as a youngster, realizing what the beautiful song was about half way through, broke my heart. No one ever performed better than Lady. Happy Mother's Day honey.
happy belated mother's day.
were you queen for a day?
Sling- She totally did!
Granny- There will never be another one like her.
Tate- The parents were quite the gadabout party peeps back in the day, always going someplace to see someone play. I think they saw damn near every major artist in the day. Funny- I had exactly the identical experience with Strange Fruit.
Billy- A Belated thank you. They tried, bless their hearts.
It's far too late, but happy Mother's day! Billie was amazing.
