Rosemary Rainey recreates the role of Ma Rainey singing the Blues classic in a juke joint. This is not a documentary, just filmed to look that way from "Travelin' Trains," now available on DVD. Watch online http://www.TravelinTrains.com

Can't anybody just hit the "Like" button and not spew stupid ass comments?
I'm just a random viewer, but this took a lot of work and love. Nice job!
Oooops, I guess I'm guilty of what I just complained about.

Wow Rosemary, I love this. It's really creative. I love this period piece. Girl, I've been wondering what you and John are up to. I'm still in Ghana and doing my own music thing, but I'm proud of you. Don't let know body tell you this is not good. It's wonderful! Love y'all, Toni (Billups-Randall) Manieson

@ersm Really..you did this? Cool, wish my great grandmother was alive to see this. My great grams was borne in Rome Ga in 1900 and had two pictures with Ma Rainey and her hubby, one in what looked like a dressing room with a throw rug on the wall and 6 men and instruments and her smiling...the other was a picture of Ma or someone who looked alot like her posing in front of a horse and carrage with her in a large winter coat. WoW this is her daughter....very cool

@KojiRecords Well said indeed sir. This was not even possible nor probable. Further more including such rubbish for dramatic effect is more insulting than entertaining. My great grandmother grew up with Ma rainey and Nanny never sung any songs like this. Much diff style all the way around. Who does this stuff? Research tells a much diff story.

While I am not impressed with this post-war, Kansas City style blues singing here, which was not Ma Rainey's forte, I do LOVE the look and feel of this period piece, it's fantastic; ersm, where did you get the costumes, actors and location, can you post more of the film piece, would love to see more; thanks!
