Correction!

So on last thursday's show I was totally wrong in making an educated guess about where Miss Ella Fitzgerald came from. So here's the facts:

In January 1935 Ella won the chance to perform for a week with the Tiny Bradshaw band at the Harlem Opera House. Ella met drummer and bandleader Chick Webb here for the first time. Webb had already hired male singer Charlie Linton to work with the band, and was, The New York Times later wrote, "reluctant to sign her....because she was gawky and unkempt, a diamond in the rough."[4] Webb offered Ella the opportunity to test with his band when they played a dance at Yale University. Despite the rough crowd, Ella was a great success, and Webb hired her to travel with the band for US$12.50 a week.

sorry and/or my bad folks, but I fixed it right? Anyway, it's all good now.
