Belated music monday

So yes, I'm a metalhead. But I also like many other kinds of music - not just power metal, but prog metal, death metal, doom metal, stoner metal... and also classical, jazz, blues, etc.

Alberta Hunter was 89 years old when she gave this performance. 89! Skip ahead to about 0:25 if you want to jump straight to the music.

89! I want some of what she's got now, man. That is great.

I was going to quote that myself, but wanted to see if anyone else would take the bait. ;)

What really amuses me is how incredibly filthy some of her repertoire is, like Two-fisted Double-Jointed Rough & Ready Man, My Handy Man, or You Can't Tell The Difference After Dark.
