Me three. I believe in Michigan (and perhaps other states) you could vote in the primary (at 17) if you would be 18 by the time of the general election. I may be misremembering of course, but I do remember that Jesse did particularly well in Michigan, winning the caucus! Now what I am having trouble tracking down is whether Michigan had a primary and a caucus even back in 1988, but I think it must have, as I voted for Jackson at a poll location and it wasn't anything like the crowded rooms of a caucus. I wouldn't have any idea how to participate in a caucus back then and certainly wouldn't have had the time. (Or maybe it was enacted just like a standard primary but they called it a caucus? That might be the most likely...) Years later, I actually saw him and David Dinkins and Mario Cuomo at a big march on Washington (Save Our Cities march, probably in 1993). RIP.

That was one of the very first books that I read about the Blues, and I still consider it to be one of the best. I PMed you.

There is going to be a documentary airing on PBS this Friday at 9pm titled Sun Ra: Do the Impossible, which is part of the American Music Masters series, which is the same series that aired the Max Roach documentary.

Used to play this on Athens, GA's black-owned AM station:

The other Organissimo Guy. I missed this thread in real time but have to say - he was one of the best posters on here. I miss his contributions.

I was on the BNBB near the end of its life, and then migrated over here. I've been here since June 2003. That's an incredibly long time.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Kenny Barron for me too:

Schubert - String Quartet D.804 - Guarneri Quintet

Thank you, sir!

I voted for him in that year's primary as well!
