Most people probably think that African American music pre- and post-Civil War was spirituals, blues, gospel, ragtime.How about CLASSICAL?
Brilliant pianist John Davis brought his show to the Narrows Thursday night that showed us that a slave named "Blind Tom" and a son of a slave, "Blind Boone," wowed audiences across the US with keyboarding wizardry that owed more to Mozart than to the Mississippi Delta.
It was a one-of-a-kind performance that was recorded by our friends at mvyradio.com and should be posted on that site in a few days.
