Video Find of the Day
I saw this video on Classics Showcase tonight and fell in love with the group. It turns out they were a major inspiration for the Andrews Sisters, that they were classical trained but switched to jazz, that they grew up in New Orleans, that their names are Connee, Martha, and Vet (for Helvetia -- she was named after a country), that Connee was originally Connie but she changed the i to e to make it easier to write her signature, and that the video I saw was on YouTube.
