RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 57: Draw you or someone else [60 hive in prizes]

Remind me. How many times have you been married? I think I'll spend the rest of my day pondering the advisability of staying silent.

Or I'll just listen to music. :)

Speaking of I turned on my TV and watched Summer of Soul on Hulu. Pretty damn good. 50 year old tape from the Harlem Social Festival that's never been seen. 19 year old Stevie Wonder (on drums, too) Mahalia Jackson, Gladys Knight and many others. Oh, Mavis Staples is young, too.

Sort:  

I remember when I graduated high school in Connecticut, one of my best friends got a rent-controlled apartment from his grandmother in Harlem and I would take the train up after work in the summer and go spend the weekend there.

I had no idea that Harlem was as colorful in music and art. It was an eye-opener.

Seems a good use for TV when most of the other stuff is trash.
