As Monty Python might say, now for something different.
Some may fault Al Jolson because he was the master of Minstrel. Jolson meant no disrespect. It is only later that white society’s eyes were rightly opened. occasionally political correctness is simply correct. But we should not damn this great talent for succumbing to that which was generally accepted in its time. The time was WW I and almost before radio.
Al Jolson was a southerner and much of his music reflected that heritage. Here are a couple exceptions.
First, one from Hawaii, long before statehood. The song is called Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula, recorded in 1926. With that title you know you just hafta (sic) hear it.
And then there is When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbin Along
Jolson’s classic is Mammy. I don’t have that readily at hand. perhaps another time.
For the technocrati, the protocol is MP3. If the files do not play on your computer get your techy person to add the ability to your computer. MP3 is the wav(e) of the future.
