April in Paris

Songs by Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, John Cale, Charlie Parker and even Taylor Swift, plus a dozen of my photo tributes.

Greg Mitchell is the author of more than a dozen books (see link) and now writer/director of three award-winning films aired via PBS, including “Atomic Cover-up” and “Memorial Day Massacre” which are still up at PBS.org. Before all that, he was a longtime editor of the legendary Crawdaddy. You can still subscribe to this newsletter for free
