Happy Women's History Month- In honor of our mother I wanted to share excerpt from an article I had on my computer from December 1961 (before Durga was born.) I was 4 years old. It featured this information about our mother Dr. F. Pearl Riley McBroom.

Excerpt from GOLDEN WEST article December 1961

"Considered one of America’s outstanding specialists among women physicians in the field of internal medicine and heart disease, F. Pearl Riley Mc Broom, M.D., recently received a $15,000 two tear grant from the U.S. Government’s National Institute of Health for advanced studies on coronary artery heart vessel transplants in rabbits. She will pursue this work at the Institute For Medical Research at Cedars Of Lebanon Hospital.

Dr. Mc Broom, the wife of Dr. Marcus S.W. Mc Broom has had a rich background of training and experience.

She graduated in the upper third of her class at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. She did her intern work in Bellevue Hospital and later served as a Research Assistant at Goldwater Hospital, Columbia Research Wing.

The outstanding physician has been featured in OUR WORLD magazine, in the book “America’s Tenth Man” and other publications. She was the first Negro to be accepted at the University of California Medical School as a Fellow in the field of Cardiology, at Southern Califonia with Dr. George Griffith.

Dr. Mc Broom has received many honors from the local community, including “Woman Of The Year” award from the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. She was the first Negro to address the California Medical Association on her research findings.

However she still plays piano with a beautiful and sensitive touch, and her home is a model of beautiful paintings.

For her outstanding achievements, The Golden West magazines salutes Dr. F. Pearl Mc Broom as Professional Woman Of The Year."

"As we celebrate THE BEATLES coming to America 60 years ago today, I found this story about their first America release "Introducing The Beatles." It was just before "Meet the Beatles" (one of my first albums.)
I'm taken by the fact no one is discussing how The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Elton John and many others were all influenced by American Blues and R&B artists who they were covering or imitating. Unlike Elvis Presley, who was an "acceptable replacement" for Little Richard, (due to a racist radio industry,) British rock and rollers embraced the impact American Blues and R&B had on them. The Rolling Stones continue to bring acts from John Lee Ho**er and Muddy Waters to Prince and In Living Color on tour with them." Lorelei McBroom

It was the sound heard around the world. A little mom and pop record label out of Chicago called Vee Jay Records.

"Many of his picks tracked his musical inspiration throughout the years, selecting The Velvet Underground & Nico, which had a huge impact on Bowie’s early career, as well as The Fabulous Little Richard, which contributed towards his musical awakening in the 1950s."

Exploring the love that David Bowie had for 'Banana Moon', the debut solo work from Soft Machine's Daevid Allen, which he credits with the origins of glam rock.
