An old video of Lena Horne singing Stormy Weather
This was one of the first songs that I learned how to play on my Low D bamboo whistle. I love the sound of sliding my finger across the hole on the accidentals.
I had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Horne in probably the mid-70’s. I was captivated by some of the stories she told. She couldn’t go into white-only restaurants, but she had to wear blackface in shows and movies because she wasn’t “black” enough. She was a very talented and determined woman, and the world is a better place for her having been here.
