I received this email from my youngest brother who works for a music agency (blues, jazz, gospel promotion). The subject line was "Career Highlight".
"Last night I kissed Mavis Staples.... (on the lips!!!)
I am heaven-bound!!!"
I wrote back: "Wonderful, made me grin."
He replied: "yeah, and in the spirit of 'brotherly competitiveness' I thought....shit, Catherine Deneuve or Mavis....no contest! (Our film critic brother in Vienna met Deneuve.)
(I understand that Bob Dylan once proposed to Mavis (not sure if it was in jest or not?) and I thought about doing the same, just so I could say that me and Bob had both asked the same girl...)"
I love having my brothers happy.
