I was just watching the local Philly news and they did a story about renaming the home of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, The Marian Anderson Center. A great tribute to a great Philly icon. By the way, if anyone is in the Philly area you can visit her grave in nearby Colindale.
Growing up, Marian Anderson was just regular fare and we realized she was, yes, marginalized because of her skin colour. As a kid who was just navigating the meaning of racism, she was a beacon on the path of understanding.
Thank you John for the introduction to this talented artist. It's very saddening to hear that she was not given the opportunities she obviously deserved. Out of interest, is there a reason why you tend to use your Garrard in your videos rather than your SP10?
My 401 is just running much better these days. the Technics needs some more attention if it's going to be able to stand up to the Garrard, and I've been too busy to get on it.
Marian Anderson’s vocal range and richness of tone seem similar to the amazing voice of Beyonce on Cowboy Carter. I have been awoken to this musicians talent for the first time and of course there are progenitors and the sublime Marian Anderson is one I assume. Thanks John.
Lovely niche-thank you for this. Unbelievable to me that stores like Academy Records are selling amazing vinyl of albums like this in the $4 range and CDs for 99 cents.
@@DeVOREFIDELITY thank you for response. I am getting sublime results using Accuphase amplification with Xs in my room. Somehow I cannot get tube equipment to work to my liking and I tried TONS of different tube amps…. :(

You are deep .Some people would never understand.

It reminds me of the Coen Brothers films 🎥
