OH, how I loved Ms. Annisteen. Her renditions of "Tea for Two" and "Baubles, Bangles, and Beads" are so lush and sweet, and two of my favorites, along with "Let It Roll."

I hung out at her Harlem apt. once while she was having one of those down home folks card games with some of her ole show biz friends. I never laughed so hard in my life. Just watching those folks being themselves was so much enjoyment. I had a ball and truly miss her.

This is what I call the birth of Rock and roll

OMG, I can't believe someone else has this incredible song. I have the 78 rpm record, cannot find this song anywhere; I've found the flip side "I'm Waitin Just for You" as an MP3, but not THIS song!!!! Any suggestions?

thanks

Bill

[vinylman86]

did you picked up the cd recently?

[ChromeBumpers]

YES!! I got it off Ebay, becuz up til now I only had the 78rpm record...

[damusician]

nice! you should someday film your 1957 ge hifi playing that record.

[ChromeBumpers]

I will... the '57 GE is a top-opening lid, and I have a ton of crap on it! LOL

but, it's so worth getting it warmed up and playing some records on it
