Seattle's Ernestine Anderson loves being on the SBR Music Forum.

From the article:
Her family moved to Seattle, Washington, in 1944,[3] when she was 16. Anderson attended Garfield High School, graduating in 1946. While a teenager, she was discovered by bandleader "Bumps" Blackwell, who hired her as a singer for his Junior Band. Anderson's first show was at the Washington Social Club on East Madison Street. The band (which later included Quincy Jones on trumpet, and a young Ray Charles on keyboard) performed regularly in jazz clubs on Seattle's Jackson Street.
The *$ on Madison St. east of downtown Seattle has photos on the walls of jazz legends who were part of the local jazz scene around WWII. It is a nice change from the usual *$ decor. My wife met Ernestine Anderson while she was working at the rehab facility where Ms. Anderson spent her final years.
