I am remembering Brenda Lee.

Tweet

Good morning, friends. Brenda Lee is a singer from the time I was a teen. And the songs she sang made me learn a lot about the US. A few years ago I was curious about what Jambalaya meant. And with the aid of Google I read the lyrics and checked what it meant. And a big world of recipes opened in front of my eyes. I was sorry that I didn´t know it before. I went twice to New Orleans before google was part of my life and I did not taste all those southern dishes. Now, thanks to a film in Netflix, I got into another one of Brenda Lee´s songs. She sang about jumping the broom and through Google I, now, discovered that it was a way the African Americans had to get married in the times of slavery. I´m happy to learn about old uses through songs. And I loved to listen to Brenda Lee again. She is an incredible singer. Have you heard her?
