Yes indeed, that's Ma Rainey. To those of you who might not know, she's the Queen of the Blues.
Now she's back. She got a computer, and a broadband connection, and now she's got herself a blog. Damn the world is better with Ma back. You got to love her attitude. They'd call her a feminist these days, she was called outrageous back then. Plus she's always had a mouth on her. And nobody I knew could party heartier than Ma, man or woman. Here's one of her best songs in the MP3 format.

Ma Rainey? That is quite a lady. Sophistication was not on her list of characteristics, either. I also heard from a little bird that Kansas City Joe and Memphis Minnie have joined us in this little community of bloggers.
