Ella!

I do love my fellow Taureans. Happy Birthday, girl! You are missed. She was born on this day in 1918.

We had tickets for a salute to Ella to benefit the Minority AIDS Project back in Los Angeles on January 10, 1995. We got to see a bunch of great musicians including Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, and many more, but unfortunately Ella's health was already such that she was unable to attend. I was so disappointed. She died on June 15, 1996.






Scat for me baby!


Damn! I feel better now!

Also, a big shout out to Stu Cook of Creedence who turned 62 today.
