Thanks, guys!

I borrowed that book from a friend a while ago. Your local library may have it. For Alma fans, it's a good read.

kabogga - you are correct. My intention was to thank littleshoemaker while also responding to you and I didn't word it right. I am 53 and just discovering Alma, so you've got a big lead on me !

So, THANKS Littleshoemaker, this is incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kabogga]

chkjns: You shouldn't be thanking ME for putting this music up. That accolade goes to littleshoemaker.

For my sins, I became a Coganite quite late in life,(I was 34), Ironically that was the same age that Alma died.

I have been hunting bookshops for her sister, Sandra Caron's book about her.

It came out in 1991and and that time I was ignorant as to what an amazing talent Alma was. But as they say, he who hesitates is lost... My own fault really. :-(

Had to dig to learn: This was from a 1955 UK featurette. Seeing all the overflowing praise of her work has helped me fall in love with her music as well.

But the band arrangement is incredible as well, and that's where most of a song's magic comes from for me ! ! !

My channel is a timewarp to the music of any past year. 100 playlists for music of each year the past century. SO glad to be able to add this to 1955 ! ! ! ! ! !

Thanks so much for putting this music up for us all to enjoy ! !
