    Chadwick Boseman: Netflix postpones Ma Rainey's preview

    A racing certainty for the 2021 Oscars:
    Best actor Chadwick Boseman for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”

    He is black, he is dead and it does not matter if the film is any good. It ticks all the BLM/diversity boxes. Denzel Washington can do the acceptance speech.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Sign Netflix Deal

    Meghan did not like being constantly in the spotlight with the media following her everywhere (despite having made her fortune as an actress in a big American TV show).

    So she and Harry upped sticks and moved to somewhere more private: Los Angeles.

    Now they have signed a deal with Netflix to keep them out of the public gaze.

    It is difficult to see what is in this for Netflix other than a couple more big names on the payroll.

    Does Harry fancy himself as the next Rupert Murdoch? <laugh>

    Such a tragedy that Luke Kelly was taken by a brain tumour at just 43, in 1984.

    I try to live my life in the slow lane Oddy, when you get to my age, you want to make every minute count. In 7 months and 7 days I'll be 70. <laugh>

    McGowan's a cracking singer, but it's Kelly for me mate.

    Saw him at an Elvis Costello concert in 1978......brilliant. My favourite was always Monster from Outer Space

    They'd nudge nudge when we got on the bus
    She's extra-terrestial not like us
    It's bad enough with another race
    But **** me a monster from outer-space

    He's now the Poet Laureate for Frinton

    For any blues fans, i highly recommend a new collaboration album by Josh Teskey and Ash Grunwald called Push The Blues away. Only 8 tracks but excellent. I'm hoping gigs are back on by next April as The Teskey Brothers are playing over here and would love to be able to go.

    From the annual jazz concert week at Burghausen, Germany, 2003.

    Some really good jazz guitar and accordion playing (yes, accordion!) from the Django Reinhardt Group in the opening number:

    Ah, this is the one I meant to put up, start right from the beginning, some great high-speed jazz guitar and accordion playing. Also, if you move fast-forward on to point #15.25, the Romanian jazz violinist, Florin Niculescu, plays some brilliant jazz in the Stéphane Grappelli style. I especially like the group's rendering of Richard Rodgers' and Lorenz Hart's "The Lady Is A Tramp" at point #22.20:

    In 1928 Mississippi Hurt, aged 25, recorded 5 records, each with 2 songs. As they didn't sell well, he returned to share cropping and spent the next 35 years in musical oblivion. Then in 1952, a couple of songs from those recordings were included on the Anthology of American Folk Music, he at least had some recognition. But with the exceptions of a small circle of experts, he was still an unknown to the general public. Then it all began to change when in 1963 a third song, Avalon Blues (Avalon being his home town.) was discovered. A visit to Avalon in search of John Hurt was set in train. And there he was, still farming. Mississippi John Hurt then spent the the next 13 years of his life entertaining a legion of adoring fans until his passing in 1966.

    Wonderful photography as well.
