NEVER-BEFORE-RECORDED SONGS!!! And, NOTE: I refer to Amanda as “African-American and Swedish” as a quick way to describe her heritage. I’m not saying she’s American or that she’s not a Brit! She was very British indeed.
My book, with its chapter on Amanda Ira Aldridge: https://www.valleypressuk.com/book/126/she_wrote_the_songs
A story and a filmed read-through featuring Andrea Kmecova!! The story of multi-talented British woman of colour Amanda Aldridge, 1866-1956, who wrote under the name Montague Ring. Maybe I could start this as a Thing, like GRWM? Maybe Sight Read With Me…SRWM?
