GUEST,Sam | John Charles Thomas: An American Classic (11) | RE: John Charles Thomas: An American Classic | 03 Oct 17 |
I ws fortunate to study voice briefly with Blanch Blackman, JCT's teacher at Peabody. She had an enormous photo of Thomas on her piano but at the time I was only 15 and didn't appreciate the significance of my opportunity. I thought Thomas was the greatest singer I had ever heard and listened faithfully every Sunday afternoon to his program, learning his favorite songs by heart. He and Paul Robeson are my favorites of all time. |
