It’s always delightful to meet someone animated by great knowledge, great enthusiasm, and a passion for a subject: David McCain is such a person. He is frankly in love with three little girls from New Orleans — Connee, Vet, and Martha Boswell — the Boswell Sisters. David is not only a great collector of their music, their photographs, and evidence of their gifts — but he is a wise enthusiast who has done so much to let the world know about the Sisters.
On December 8, 2012, I had the great good fortune to meet David and have him talk to me (and all of us) about his love for the Boswells:
We love those “savage chanters,” we do.
May your happiness increase.
Good interview! By coincidence, I was listening to the Boswells last night. David mentioned Michael Brooks, any chance you could interview him? If he is anything like the liner notes he writes it would be very entertaining and informative. Thanks!
