Al Jolson Bromley UK Nigel Lowe October 2010

This was my part of the Bromley/London event for the Al Jolson weekend.
I am not a professional,i was very nervous,but i will get better with vocal training.I struggled to hear the music at some points. I am not in a competition for who sings the best Jolson.I just want to share the songs and memory of "The Worlds Greatest Entertainer".
My thanks to Jens J. Reinke and Andrea Oberheiden of aj-images.com who are in the process of making a wonderful documentry about Al Jolson.It has become a labour of love with them.And i thank the International Al Jolson Society for the wonderful work they do.There is a lot of ignorance out there about Al Jolson. He was from a past era.No he was not racist,there is lots of evidence of that fact.Many do not realise that he pioneered so much of what is taken for granted today within the entertainment world.
I hope you enjoy my video and if nothing else,brings a smile.laugh and a memory.And have a wonderful day where ever you are.
Take care folks ;0)

Nigel, you sound exactly like Jolson. I actually though it was a lip-sync at first. Keep at it - you will be great!
