I met Alberta Hunter in NY in the 80s when she had been 'rediscovered' after years of obscurity working as a nurse. At the time she was singing in The Cookery, a club in Greenwich Village, two nights a week, just her and an accompanist. She was possibly the sexiest woman I ever met.... :biggrin2: We corresponded until she died after a fall when she broke her hip.

How cool. I think you've mentioned her before but I didn't look her up. I read that she worked at Coney Island Hospital and they made her retire when they fouind how old she was. Here's "Handyman" - did she have anyone in particuar in mind ? - quite a bit of circumstantial amongst the many wonderful euphemisms. Gets up before dawn - turn my damper down. . . . . :laugh5:
