Lena Horne Forever postage stamp

[Guy]

The Lady is celebrated with her very own Black Heritage Month stamp on sale January 30, 2018. June 2017 was her centennial. Beautifully done. I got my Sarah Vaughan stamps a few years ago and they are so lovely I could not bring myself to use them. Get your Lena Horne forever stamps while still available.

Wow! I hadn't heard anything about this. This is great news, Lena deserves it. I had the great privilege of seeing "The Horne" when The Lady And Her Music came to the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles in the early 80's. Awesome performance.
Heading to the post office first thing tomorrow.

I took this photo when my best bud, Bruce, and I went to see Lena Horne [[see above). We wound up with seats way in the back, and were very grateful just to get tickets. Of course photography was forbidden but I had a camera [[Instamatic?) with me, just in case. When the show ended folks ran up to the stage and that was when I snapped this.

It's not a great photo, but it has become a great memory. So much time has passed so quickly. Now Bruce is gone, Lena's gone. Even a long life is not a long time.
