Acting like I'm gonna run away......

Lazy lazy day. Baby Girl is letting me sleep a bit more at night, but it's not really helping. Kinda like the more I sleep the more tired I feel. Did I ever actually wake up today? Your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, it is getting easier around here. Baby Girl now knows her mommy's voice, reacts to movement/light/sound, holds her head up, makes cute noises.....ya know, all the normal things babies do, including flashing a smile which leaves no heart unmolested.

I've had this record ready to go for a long while but for some reason never got around to it. Funny thing is, I haven't bought a Lula Reed record in a couple of years. They just seemed to be around when I first started collecting 45s. And cheap too. Lately, some of them aren't so cheap. I've been offered the equivalent of $80 in trade for my copy of "What Makes You So Cold". I know I didn't pay more than $5 for it. Probably more like $3.

This one ain't worth all that much, but it's good and perfectly suits a day like today.

Hope ya'll enjoy...

Ain't coming back no more...

It's been at least a year since I posted any Lula Reed, and that's far too long.

Hope ya'll enjoy.... if you want more info on Reed, you can find it here.

What makes you so cold?

Lula (not Lulu) Reed is a now largely forgotten early R&B artist. Personally speaking, I find some of her 1950's sides hard to take. She relied just a bit too much on a 'baby girl' voice in a vain attempt to sound like Dinah Washington. As far as I'm concerned, her later sides are more interesting.

Here's something from 1961 on the Federal label.

Hope ya like.
