Amen, Youlmposter. She was quite a woman, and a talented and prolific musician. You're very welcome, it was my pleasure to put this together so more people could enjoy Minnie.

Loved it to little bits. Thanks for posting.

BTW, is your moniker dedicated to Onan?

[wanketta]

No relation to Onan, LOL. It's a bastardization of Wonkette, actually, also no relation.

A hell of a musician! Minnie was a true pioneer in a country prejudiced against women AND blacks; 2 strikes already against her; she must have got some flack.....but did her thing in spite of it. And she did her thing well. Most don't appreciate how difficult, how different things were in her day. Much respect to Minne and thanks poster for making this available to us.
