Didn’t It Rain

Friend of the blog Dave Bishop, in response to my early post about Big Joe Turner, posted a reminiscence about seeing Sister Rosetta Tharpe playing a concert on a rainy railway platform in Manchester, U.K.

Another friend of the blog, Patricia Rogers, found online the video of that very concert! Here it is.  Maybe we’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the young Dave Bishop somewhere in the audience.

Don’t let it be said we don’t give you fast service here in this forum.
