Elvie Thomas and Geeshie Wiley

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Once you're done contemplating how cute Yuja Wang is and how ugly Wanda Landowska was, read this Sunday's NY Times magazine's fascinating cover story on these two little-known blues artists from the early 20th century who made one record together in 1930. The larger story is how a furniture-turned-record company in Wisconsin decided to scour the deep South for this music and record it in the late 20s and early 30s.
