#Standing on the shoulders of giants

[hear-what-she-said]

I haven’t posted here in a while but found myself in a rabbit hole on this last day of Women’s History Month 2024.

It started with the song Jeepers Creepers, which until today I thought was just a jingle to advertise sunglasses in the 70s.

Ethel Waters recorded the first known version in November 1938, just a few months before Louis Armstrong’s recording in 1939.

Original music composed by Harry Warren and lyrics by Johnny Mercer for the 1938 movie Going Places, in which Armstrong performed.

Ethel Waters was also the first African American woman to integrate Broadway when composer Irving Berlin awarded her a starring role in his Broadway musical, As Thousands Cheer.

Big delivery of new source material for the library. A couple of ‘must have’ difficult to find books which helps round things out nicely.

Open letter to all (heterosexual) dandadan fans worried about those ‘stupid ship-addled jjk fans coming to ruin our fandom’:

1) i doubt anyone will want to get in the way of the main couple given that their relationship is the b-plot for the entire series

2) i think you would faint if you heard the things i want to do to count saint-germain
