The beautiful, evocative duet with Alma Gluck definitely sums up the exuberant optimism, the sheer euphoric joy of the Roaring Twenties, more than any dizzying, romping Charleston could have done. This is a real gem, a document of the time, and shows both ladies' glorious voices to perfection. Louise Homer has a warm, velvety, expressive - if not huge - voice. which I could listen to for hours. Thank you Edmund, for the wonderful article.<br />AnnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166918155946600787.post-3156779548272006802015-01-27T13:54:54.867-05:002015-01-27T13:54:54.867-05:00

Her duet with Caruso is fantastic.<br /><br />I love "innocent America" too, I read about it when studied Buster Keaton biography. <br /><br />n.a.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166918155946600787.post-29431212831040686572015-01-24T17:22:31.047-05:002015-01-24T17:22:31.047-05:00Thank you very much, Doug, for a great comment.

You have some great Louise Homer videos up, and I never miss a chance to tout her greatness any way I can. We just have to keep pushing. People do watch videos and blogs. I see this as something like a challenge and a duty!<br />Edmund St. Austellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490721790447218365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166918155946600787.post-75863926770645068112015-01-24T17:17:37.832-05:002015-01-24T17:17:37.832-05:00Thank you very much, Mr. Hobbes, for a rather movi...Thank you very much, Mr. Hobbes, for a rather moving description of the very period that I also feel strongly about. Well done. That's the feeling I get when I hear Louise Homer and Alma Gluck sing.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />1Edmund St. Austellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490721790447218365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166918155946600787.post-64882758286595690022015-01-24T16:33:45.921-05:002015-01-24T16:33:45.921-05:00Dear Edmund: Thank you very much for the informed ...Dear Edmund: Thank you very much for the informed and appreciative commentary on the beloved Louise Homer. Alas, yet another near forgotten artist, but thanks to 100+ year-old and modern day technology the remnant (Biblical sense, if you will) remains alive and well. All Best.

I wou...Thank you for this posting on Louise Homer. I would suggest that your attachment to her is part of a nostalgic and sentimental view of that period of history. For those of us who are older, it was the era of our parents and grandparents. The country was still young and held optimism for the future. Recordings and classical music seemed noble, new, and distant from our cultural background in a country that was still largely rural and uncultured. I can remember my grandparents' bedroom which contained a picture of a man and wife, farmers, who were looking at a vision of a city in the sky. It was the dream of a new land with many hopes. No wonder that age cries out to us from the pain and melancholy of the 21st century.JD Hobbesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166918155946600787.post-4856703084514250282015-01-24T16:15:20.800-05:002015-01-24T16:15:20.800-05:00Do let me know, please, if you have any trouble wi...Do let me know, please, if you have any trouble with the Comments section.
