"The Story of Jubilee"

As I come upon the 90-day anniversary since I left CA for TN on my book signing tour, I thought you'd like to know what's been going on and how the tour is going.  Too much has happened since May 12 to get it all into one podcast, but here are the highlights.  And please visit our new GO FUND ME page and donate to the cause: "SAVE OUR PERFORMING ARTS".  All aboard... 

Hello listeners.  As always, we'd like to thank you for your patronage and hope you are enjoying "The Story of Jubilee", an epic tale  of a group of newly-freed slave teens who landed at the new Fisk Freed-Colored School in Nashville, TN.  As the route is chosen for the students' debut tour along the route of the Underground Railroad, love is in the air as Thomas Rutling and Isaac Dickerson attempt to court Georgia Gordon and Minnie Tate.    All aboard.....

Thank you for joining us for Episode 9 of "The Story of Jubilee", "Meet Frederick  Loudin."  Things heat up as Loudin, Maggie Porter and Ella Sheppard immediately clash, and battle lines are drawn.  

As always, we appreciate your support and hope you'll tell all of your friends and loved ones about our Podcast about the wonderful efforts and contributions of the legendary original Fisk Jubilee Singers.  Get your friends to sign on and catch up with us before we arrive at our first station.  All aboard....

Hello Podcast audience.  I hope you're excited about meeting the students and hearing their backstories.  Please share our podcast with your family, friends and business acquaintances as we attempt to build a following.  This episode, the students have all arrived to the newly-formed Fisk Freed-Colored School and have begun to form friendships, as Frederick Loudin prepares to audition for Professor White.  

As always, we welcome your comments and input, and thank you for your support.  We hope you enjoy our next two episodes as we get closer and closer to arriving at our first stop, Cincinnati.  All aboard...

Jones.  Each book is hand-signed and shipped directly from the Author.  Stay tuned as we release our next episode, Chapter 7, "FIRST STOP, CINCINNATI".   We look forward to seeing you at the station.  All aboard...

Hello Podcast listeners and Jubilee fans.  This episode introduces Frederick Loudin who was born free, older than the other students, and never enrolled into the Fisk Freed-Colored School; yet, he became one of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, Professor White's confidant, and eventually started his own chapter of Jubilee Singers.  

Hello listeners.  Now that the freedom bell has rang, please look forward to the launch of our sister show, "Dreams Delayed", where Author and Playwright Jamima B. Jones interprets and narrates key portions of the Thirteenth Amendment, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Compensated Emancipation Act.  These three key pieces of legislation, stored in the Library of Congress, paved the way to 'freedom'.  However, our dreams of true freedom have been delayed.  

As always, thank you for listening, and please tell a friend!

Limited editions of "The Story of Jubilee",  signed by the Author,  are still available at thestoryofjubilee@gmail.com

Hello listeners and fans.  Welcome to the Fisk Freed-Colored School.  Take a seat in the office of Dean Milo Erastus Cravath, and listen in as the students and Professor White arrive to the campus .  All aboard...

Welcome back, Spotify listeners and Jubilee fans.  Before we board the train to go on our virtual journey along the route of the Underground Railroad, and ultimately around the world, we invite you to meet the administrators: Abolitionist and Union General, the Honorable General Clinton B. Fisk, Pastor Henry Stanley Bennett, the university's clergy and Professor George White, the students's Music Director.  These are the pioneers that set the stage for what was to come for this small group of first-generation freed slaves.  All aboard...
