In 1963 Ethel Waters performed during a weekend at my high school auditorium (George Washington High School in San Francisco). The performance wasn't for our high school, but for the general audience, and there was an admission.
I went to see her perform with a friend of mine when we were 16 years old. We knew Waters was a jazz legend even then, but we didn't yet grasp just how legendary she truly was.
Wow! What a great experience for you while you were in high school. Something similar happened with my young children in Ann Arbor. Somehow I got two free tickets for one of Sarah Vaughn‘s last concerts at Hill auditorium. I told my girls, who were 12 and 10 at the time, that they would not appreciate seeing Sarah Vaughan now but they would when they got older. So I made them go, and they did appreciate it later on in life. Thank you for your response.
Thank you for your continued effort to inform us of the real history of fellow American citizens who were truly outstanding in their fields of endeavor in spite of quite challenging circumstances. Your work is appreciated
