Interesting poems- attempting to penetrate Ezra Pound soon!
We’re going to cook up a fine dish, real groovy. Wrap up some fine grape leaves and chip up a little lamboroonie. Sprinkle on a little fine riceorootie and a little pepporoonie, a little peppovoutie. And sprinkle on a little saltoroonie to put the seasoning in there, that makes it really mellow. Then you take and you nail an avocado seed up in the ceiling and let it vout for a while.
Introduction to ‘Gaillard Special’, Jan 1946.
Of all the great songs written about food, and there have been many, few are like those of Bulee ‘Slim’ Gaillard. Often disregarded in mainstream histories of jazz, Gaillard is probably best remembered for inventing his own idiosyncratic ‘slanguage’, Vout (or Vout-O-Reenee). More of an approach to talking than a strict language as such, it largely consisted of adding nonsensical suffixes like oroonee or macvootee or even skoodlivootimo to words…

Very interesting and useful too!
In 1977, the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris became the owner of one of the most valuable collections of modern art in Europe. This had already been on display there for eleven years, and it was only on the death of Domenica Walter (1898-1977) that ownership passed to the French nation. It has long been rumoured that this was all part of a deal to cover up the suspicious deaths of Domenica’s two husbands, Jean Walter, who died in 1957 after being hit by a car, and art dealer Paul Guillaume, who died in 1934 from an “ulcer”. There was also the matter of a claimed attempt on her son’s life.
Paul Guillaume was one of two dealers who had encouraged and supported Amedeo Modigliani, who died tragically at the age of thirty-five. His partner threw herself to her death from a fifth-floor window just two days later, at the…

Brilliant material, fascinating.
The Chadwyck-Healey Liberation Collection (1944-46) consists mainly of books, but also contains a number of French and English songs and music scores, some with striking illustrations. They appear either in individual leaflets or in larger compilations, including the lyrics and in some cases notated music. On the 70th anniversary of VE Day (Victory in Europe), on 8 May 1945, we would like to shed light on two illustrated covers for songs of the Liberation that we displayed on the occasion of the 2019 Liberation lecture (Normandy ’44 by James Holland).
Le chant de la libération : le chant des partisans, paroles de Maurice Druon et Joseph Kessel, musique de Anna Marly. Paris : Éditions Raoul Breton, 1945. Liberation.a.104

Interestingly vivid colours of nightime!!
Many of us, when we think of Memphis, Tennessee, connect it to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.—it is the town where he was assassinated, on April 4, 1968, as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. King was in Memphis to support the Sanitation Workers’ strike. The Lorraine Motel is now a National Civil Rights Museum. It covers more than just King’s assassination—the story of civil rights from the early days of slavery.
Apart from holding an important position in American political history, Memphis has been a noteworthy centre of entertainment—having produced or nurtured several famous figures and movements. Justin Timberlake, Kathy Bates, Morgan Freeman, Shannon Doherty, B.B. King, Michael Oher, Memphis Minnie, Otis Redding, and Craig Brewer are just a few celebrities from the area.
Memphis has been the home of several famous “sounds.” One of the best-known places in the city is Beale Street, where…
