    Celia Cruz was a fantastic singer who I listened to and my parents would dance to her music and I mean dance😂.
    I was fortunate to meet Celia and spend time with her. Wonderful lady!

    Wow! Not only do I get to see the graves of some of my favorite musicians, but I also get some music history! I took some notes so I could go back and look up some of the people I did not know.

    Anna Hyatt Huntington and her husband Archer created Brookgreen Gardens near Myrtle Beach, SC and their Moorish castle, Atalaya is still there by the ocean. Her husband was the stepson of Collis P. Huntington who founded the Central Pacific Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. They were truly philanthropic and interesting people who were known for their kindness to their SC neighbors.
    Great video, I would love to visit Woodlawn! ❤

    27:51. I knew “algodon” meant cotton so I looked it up…Celia called her husband/manager Pedro “My little cottonhead” due to his white hair and mutton chops. 😊How sweet.

    Woodlawn has to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the USA. I noted how perfectly manicured those graves are---someone obviously tends then on a weekly basis. Great video once again from JTL and Mr. Jah. I wonder if any mafia dons are buried there?

    Thank you for showing the grave of Anna Hyatt Huntington, I'm sure her husband Archer Huntington is buried in there with her. Archer's step- father (most probable actual father) was Collis. Huntington, who is one of the "Big Four" that started the railroad back east.
    I work at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California.
    Also, thank you for including Celia Cruz's grave . My husband was Cuban, he always raved about her, we saw Celia and Tito Puente in concert at the Greek.
    My husband is probably dancing salsa with her or asking her to sing. May they all rest in peace. 🙏🏼

    Back in the mid 70’s Miles Davis headlined an outdoor concert at Stanford University. The place was packed and the audience…. well it was the 70’s! Miles band started playing and then Miles came out with his trumpet under his arm. He stopped at the microphone and blew a quick riff. He then put the trumpet back under his arm and paced around the stage not making eye contact with anyone. He would stop blow a quick riff and go back to pacing. That sums up the show. We joked that we saw Miles Davis but it was debatable that we saw him perform.

    Herman Melville is impossible to read. I had to take a test on Billy Budd in HS. I waited til late to read it… he had single sentences that were paragraphs long. So I bailed. I pieced the story together from the multiple choice questions and PASSED! To this day I have no idea what Billy Budd is about. 😂😂😂
