OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Heavenly Helen Humes!

Image
I t's time to jump, jam and jive, and there's no cat around who can do that better than DJ Li'l Scratch, am I right? Tonight, at the Manor's exclusive "Cake Shake Lounge," Li'l Scratch will be spinning tunes from the smoothest jazz vocalist around. Can you guess? I'll give you a hint. Who has the vocal smoothness of Etta Jones with the rhythmic snap of Della Reese? If you guessed Helen Humes, you were right.  "For who - and for what?" you might also ask.  Let me explain, first by pointing out that Cincinnati once had its very own popular Cotton Club nightspot .  "Wait - really? Shut up!" you exclaim. I will not shut up, and  for reals, it did . And get this: that's where the incomparable Helen Humes truly kicked off her career in the early 1930s. "Saucy," "rousing," "classy" and "swingin'" are just a few of the adjectives that were used to describe Helen during her heyday, though later...

Image

One of my favorite simple meals passed down from the depression era is a glazed Spam sandwich. YES, I KNOW, CALM YOUR TITS. Spam is gooood, and I'll hear none of your elitist hoity-toityisms about "nutrition" or "sodium content" or "high risk for cardiovascular disease" because this post is not concerned about that, thankyewverymuch!
