9:30 Coffee Break: Honorifics and Nicknames
April 25, 2013
Today is Ella Fitzgerald Birthday, and while we were giving a nod to the Queen of Jazz's day of birth we started thinking about other people known as a Queen or King or Prince of some kind of music. Some artists give themselves the title and some nicknames and honorifics were given to the artist.
For the 9:30 Coffee Break we'll play musicians who have honorifics or nicknames. Who do you want to hear from for today's Coffee Break.
