Chris A:
If you never had Volume 5 of Columbia's 5-box Bessie Smith series, you probably haven't heard Ruby Smith talk about her years on the road with Bessie Smith. I have just posted to my blog the first of seven excerpts. I hope you like what you hear, if you give it a try http://stomp-off.blogspot.com/2010/09/it-was-timely-call-i-received-from-sol.html

Mr.OMuck:
Fantastic. Thanks.

Chris A:
I have added another Ruby recollection, a brief one about domestic violence on the road.

Chris A:
Please be advised that this 14-minute excerpt from Ruby Smith's recollections of her life on the road with Bessie Smith contains explicit language and description of intimacy that you might not want your children to hear.
