Missing Links Discovered Today

 Yesterday afternoon, I did some digging around on the internet. Going off of Waldo Sundsmo's interview in The Jazz State of Indiana (see below), I thought that checking out the Luckes' contemporaries on the stage might lead somewhere. Waldo specifically mentioned the singers Marion Harris and Margaret Young, so I searched for them. There is a wealth of information about these two beautiful and talented singers available online: stories, posters, music clips, video footage, and so on.

One particular website stood out to me, http://www.jazzage1920s.com/marionharris/marionharris.php.

I decided to email the author of the site, David Garrick. To my delight, he wrote me back this morning, sending along these two wonderful articles.

Here's the link to the article to the left:
