Carl, I think it's a general term meant to mean
the north of Belgium - I'd guess the song's about all the soldiers who died there in World War I
Beautiful label.

Yes, from learning from music historians and collectors Mamie Smith & Her Jazz Hounds is considered the first African American first ever recorded record. But not so much true. There is another recording, I can't think of the name of the artist that made the first around the late 1890's. Though the Mamie Smith phonograph may have been the first or the second.
Go to BLUESBEFORESUNRISE.COM and get in touch with Steve Cushen, and he should give you a quick reply. Plus if anyone on this thread is interested, you can listen to the show over the net at the same email address which I posted, which begins at midnite Chicago time. From 12 - 4:30 or 5.
I plan on listening to the broadcast tonite in fact. Don't know what the show will be tonite, I hope Steve'll play the whole kit and kaboodle discography of "Little" Jimmy Scott our friend here at SD. Cause I know Steve hasn't done it
in a long time.

WOWWY!! Hey Mel!
Funny thing happened when Jimmy & I were in L.A. in July, I was downstairs from our hotel in the resturant getting breakfast when who should I run into the man who was the President of Okey Records for so many years back in the day, Danny Kessler!! Danny made me go upstairs get Jimmy dressed to come down to chat with him, he kept saying "Little Jimmy" was the best, there was no one like him! (HA HA). Funny, you never know who you might run into!!

Right Davie, Flanders is a state mostly in northwest Belgium, but some of it is in northern France. That is the part of the "Flemish" area of Belgium, where the people speak a dialect, which is a sister language of Dutch. They are called Flemings. And, that is where the name "Flamenco" comes from. Aparantly, the Spaniards that the Gypsies who played that music (who were really from India), were from Flanders?
Flanders Fields were the fields where a trremendous amount of French, British, Canadian and German soldiers died in 1914-16. A fair amount of Americans died there in 1917-18. |
