Mercy sakes alive, she did live on the wild side of the wild side! Back in 1957-58, when I worked at the local music store (my only paid job in the music industry) Anita O'day and June Christy were popular sellers on the LP side. Considering that she lived to be 87, one might think of her as a female Keith Richards.
Yeah, cuz she looked terrific up until her mid-80s when health issues really kicked in. It was almost like smack had a preservative quality. Bu..t she never looked as weazend and reptilian as Keef..
You may have seen the cartoon showing Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden, with Keith Richards sitting on a nearby rock. Adam asks, "Lord, who is that guy?" "Don't know. He was here when I arrived." (maybe he was just waiting for Leo Fender to invent his version of the electric guitar.)
Jonny, I'm glad to have found you here. You're writing is so colorful and informative. Plus, reading about Anita O'Day, I now feel as pure and innocent as a baby fawn.
