Nicholas Brothers

[parasitegirl]

In the interest of taking it easy on my wrist on a slow no-English day, I've
finally gotten around to reading one of the books that Akin left me with
when he departed Japan.

Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies & Bucks: An Interpretive History of Blacks
in American Films by Donald Bogel.

Highly readable. I've been putting google and you tube to the test today
because of it...as much as one can do at work.

Right now I just want to find more and more of The Nicholas Brothers.

But my incorrect link, that of the new threepenny opera, ain't bad either

Damn, Cyndi Lauper looks great. And I'd really like to see that show, it sounds pretty amusing from the promo clip.

Wow, I totally posted the wrong url there.

Threepenny opera is a separate thing altogether.

Oh, oops, that is something totally different. I've watched a bit of Cab Calloway before, but this is the first I've seen of the Nicholas Brothers.
