You got several good Yoyodyne Johns; one of those you left out was my personal favorite, John Smallberries (I once, on a dare, made a restaurant reservation in that name). But it’s all good.

And… are you Mahalia Jackson?

Hallelujah! Yes, I am the Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson! Well done, EH!

[Elendil_s_Heir]

All right! Thanks, Prof. P. I thought of her because of a scene in Selma: late one night MLK, worn down by his cares but unable to sleep, calls Jackson and wakes her up, asking her to sing to him over the phone. She does (and not for the first or the last time either, I gather). Her songs are featured in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever, too.

Our next letter, of course, is
