Vintage Torch Songs

Vintage Torch Songs: Today marks the birthday of the “Lady of Song,” Ella Fitzgerald. Famous for her silky voice and successful jazz standards, Fitzgerald knew how to bring tears to audiences’ eyes with her achingly beautiful renditions of popular torch songs.

Mystery Fanfare: Stan Burns: R.I.P.

This is sad news, though we knew it was coming.  Stan was a friend of mine for many years through our association in DAPA-Em, the amateur press association for fans of crime and mystery fiction.  I was also lucky enough to meet him in person at a couple of Bouchercons and to correspond with him a bit through the years.  R.I.P., Stan.
