I'm sorry, I didn't do this on Ms. Holiday's birthday but it still is the 100th year of her birth. I thought it was important to remind and remeber. I agree the last NPR airing, Ms. Holiday's personal struggles seems to overshadown her mastery of the human instrument, the voice. I'll be posting clips and videos about her until her July 17th.... the day she passed.
