Were you pretty in pink?
No, I am not Molly Ringwald.
Are you “The Mother of the Blues?”
Yes! I am ** Ma Rainey**.
Congratulations, silenus.
I’m only disappointed that no one asked me if I could turn the world on with my smile.
KEWL!
Given that my students have their AP test tomorrow, and we are going to be rather frazzled, I’ll see if I can start another round on Saturday. Thanks for the good game.
Congrats, silenus! I really thought my next guess was going to clinch it… but it wasn’t Ma Rainey.
I actually did consider asking something to that effect.
Who were you thinking of?
Another noteworthy black female singer: Martha Reeves.
Actually, I was betting it was Minnie Ripperton. Ma Rainey was just the set up.
