Mes Deux Cents has tagged me in this online blogger world version of tag, so here are the ground rules for it.
First I am to list 7 random and/or unusual facts about myself. Then I am to tag 7 other bloggers and let them know they have been tagged by telling them so in the comments of their blog.
Now for the first part of this mission.
7 Facts About Myself:
As a teenager, I once ice skated in front of 18,000 people as part of my dad's station's Ice Capades night.
I own 500 R&B and jazz CD's and 100 DVD movies and TV shows, either classic Black movies, movies wih predominately African-American casts in them, or Black TV shows.
At age 7 I did a promo commercial for my dad's radio show.
My time residing in Louisville is the first time in my life I have lived in a city that's NOT on I-10.
I have visited two presidential libraries (LBJ's in 1977, Clinton's in 2006).
My first job was working as an enumerator for the 1980 US Census.
I was a bridesmaid/DJ for a friend's wedding in 2004 and a groomsman for my uncle's 1989 wedding.
As far as the folks who are getting tagged...you'll find out soon enough ;)
Monica,
ReplyDeleteWow I bet you have some great jazz. My jazz selection is really lacking. When I moved to the west coast I lost a bunch of jazz Cd's.
Do you have Julia on dvd? I've never seen that series but I want to buy it.
Thanks for playing!
Ms Deux,
ReplyDeleteI need to add to it. Most of it is my homeboy Kirk Whalum, a sista saxophonist out of LA named Pamela Williams, Kenny G, Stanley Clarke, Boney James, some Miles Davis, Jean-Luc Ponty, Al Jarreau, and my other Houston homies Joe Sample, Ronnie and Hubert Laws and the Crusaders.
I'm loking for Julia as well. I fell in love with Diahann Carroll then, and that only intensified afer she started playing Dominique Devereuax on Dynasty and Marion Gilbert on A Different World.
Julia was 'Must See TV' for me as a kid along with 'The Flip Wilson Show'.
