[Dixielandjazz] Sr Rosetta Tharpe on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour

[john petters]

I fist heard her on a Brunswick 78 singing Two Little Fishes and Five 
Loaves of Bread - one of the Sammy Price sessions. Absolutely amazing! I 
was hooked from then on.
I think there may have been a commercial on TV - but I skip ads as a 
matter of course.

BTW has the Brubeck / Rushing disc arrived OK?
Cheers
John
