Today’s theme is ‘Featuring somewhere you’d love to visit’ for #Day19 of #DavidsMonthOfMusic. I’d love to go to #NewOrleans for the #trad #jazz music & generally historic connections. Therefore my song (written 1922): “Way Down Yonder In New Orleans” by #AlJolson with #TheAndrewsSisters from 1948.

#OTD in 1927, The Jazz Singer, the first film w/ spoken dialogue, premiered. Still mostly silent, only about 300-350 words total, & a few songs. Some racist trash, but cinema went from silence to sound forever. youtu.be/2YVsXsgBx98?...
