Jazzy D's Soul Notes

Stay strong Shannen - you are brave. Love you ,love you in Charmed too.




She says -
Reconstruction is no joke. Not going to lie... I’ve struggled with this surgery. My amazing Dr. Jay Orringer keeps reminding me it’s only been 3 weeks and I’m up and about, not taking any pain pills and generally doing well considering I had 3 surgical sites and 10 hours of surgery. Still.... I struggle. I think emotionally this is rough along with physically being unable to do a lot of things I enjoy. This is yet another humbling moment that cancer has bestowed upon me and for that, I’m thankful. Things could be so much worse. So yes, I’m blessed. I’m so many ways.

Rose McGowan,who outed some of the sleazy background to Hollywood and in relation to the Weinstein issue, suffers from PTSD

In a recent post she stated "I️ fell asleep on a plane tonight and had the worst nightmare I’ve had in awhile. A giant monster hand was trying smother me. I️ had to fight for air and woke up soaking with sweat. I’ve also been having a lot of body flashbacks. This PTSD shit is hard. Going through this publicly is a special kind of hell that most will never know. So go easy on your judgements of we who’ve stepped forward. Be gentle with your words. Even if we don’t see them, we can FEEL them.
For any of you out there suffering, know that I’m with you in spirit and solidarity. I️ know you’re with me, too. I️ feel you. Xx
Love to us all,
Rose"

And this comment from her post -


"In case no one has thanked you for outing your abuser and opening this subject. Let me say as a survivor, thank you, Rose, for giving us a voice in the midst of patriarchy."

There are also many offer supporting comments on her FB page, I for one had not realised that she suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I really do feel for her.

Duke Ellington - It don't mean a thing (1943)



"It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" is a 1931 composition by Duke Ellington with lyrics by Irving Mills, now accepted as a jazz standard. The music was written and arranged by Ellington in August 1931 during intermissions at Chicago's Lincoln Tavern and was first recorded by Ellington and his orchestra for Brunswick Records (Br 6265) on February 2, 1932. Ivie Anderson sang the vocal and trombonist Joe Nanton and alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges played the instrumental solos. The title was based on the oft stated credo of Ellington's former trumpeter Bubber Miley, who was dying of tuberculosis. The song became famous, Ellington wrote, "as the expression of a sentiment which prevailed among jazz musicians at the time." Probably the first song to use the phrase "swing" in the title, it introduced the term into everyday language and presaged the Swing Era by three years. The Ellington band played the song continuously over the years and recorded it numerous times, most often with trumpeter Ray Nance as vocalist."
