Loose Dirt: Trivia, Quotes and Marginalia
Are YOU one of Jay's kids?
Yahoo! News reported on March 11 that when
Screamin' Jay Hawkins, demented singer-pianist who wrote "I Put A Spell On
You" in 1956, died in February, he left behind some 57 children! Time
reported in its March 20 edition that 57 is also the number of children left
behind by legendary 19th century president of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, Bringham Young. And you thought these two celebs
couldn't possibly have something in common!
A Web site has been developed to help track down Hawkins' long lost kids, and
fulfill a final wish to reunite them all. If you think you might be one of
Jay's kids, contact: http://www.jayskids.com/
(Thanks to gravedigger Michele Altomare for bringing this to Grinny's
attention!)
