Coffee House


Nick's Wednesday Coffee House has finally returned! Now that I can again hear audio on my computer and select songs from my collection, I'm excited about again creating and posting the coffee house. The playbill today is exclusively African-American artists whose music has been blessings to my life. Without further ado, on with the show:

LOUIS ARMSTRONG


Mack the Knife

THEO MONK






Monk's Mood


MILES DAVIS



Move

PAUL ROBESON


The Peace Arch Concert



(Brief) Introduction to No More Auction Block



No More Auction Block

BILLIE HOLIDAY



Lover Come Back to Me


RAY CHARLES





Baby Won't You Please Come Home

CARMAN McRAE


Coffee Time

NAT KING COLE


Ramblin' Rose



That's all for this coffee house, folks. I hope that you have enjoyed this music of this selection of American American artists. The sampling presented at this coffee house is just a small sampling from my collection of CDs and an even smaller sampling of the vinyl LPs I have of African American artists! (I so wish that I had a turntable so that I could again listen to vinyl).

I plan to return to posting Nick's Coffee House at least every other Wednesday. If you are interested in visiting previous Coffee House posts,you may click on the label below that reads Wednesday Coffeehouse. Or, you may remain here as long as you wish listening to the music and enjoying a very cheap cup of coffee!

NOTE: Please excuse the formatting of this post. Due to quirks in Blogger embedding the songs, I had to redue all of the music sections. I'm in no mood to fight with Blogger over the formatting!






We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. ~ Abigail Adams (1744 - 1818), in a letter to her husband, John Adams, 1774


That said, what shall we do about:

  5. So glad to see Monk in the mix. Over at my place I've posted a painting named after one of his tunes. It seems that only one person has caught that so far.

    When I was a kid, my parents had an LP with Nat King Cole's Ramblin Rose. That takes me back, Nick.

    I'm glad you've got your audio back.
