Anyone watch this movie last night on ABC2? It's an oldie, made in the 50's like me, and set in the early part of the 20th century. It starred Nat King Cole as W C Handy, father of the blues. Also starring was a very young Eartha Kitt, Cab Calloway, and an appearance by Ella Fitzgerald. Gee I enjoyed it!

No, not that sort of phone call...thank goodness! My old school friend rang yesterday and immediately said 'is that Beth54?' I recognised the voice, but thought 'what the?' Then the penny dropped. She'd been lurking on GN's for a time and realised it was me! So Carol, stop lurking and join! :laughing...

Not too bad for an old girl. Still, I won't be tem...
