Ella turned 80 this year and she has exhibited no signs of slowing down. The CD is called ELLABRATION !! and it is on Smnithsonian Folkways SFW CD 45059 www.FOLKWAYS.SI.EDU All the songs are from the long song list of Ella Jenkins. The performers are Red Grammer (formerly of the Limelighters), Tom Chapin, Cathy and Marcy, Tom Paxton, Bill Harley, Mariachi Los Camperos (a great track), John McCutcheon, Michele Valeri, Pete Seeger, Sweet Honey In The Rock, Mike Stein and Riders In The Sky. This is just a wonderful album. Art Thieme |

I saw/heard him this past April (as one of many all-star guests at the WWOZ "Piano Night" benefit during JazzFest), and he's still a pretty energetic performer, just a delight to see. |

Now, that would be a way to support the 'Cat -- get your local PL (which probably has more money that you do) to purchase stuff from Camsco. You'd be doing the 'Cat and Dick a favor, and helping to evangalize good music at the same time! |
