[edit] Missing Ken Casey stub

The blue link to Ken Casey was actually leading to a homonymous Irish punk rocker. Since there's no article for the "real" Ken Casey, I've prefered to keep the bad link and insert over there a dab notice with a link to the composer's IDMb minibio, to give interested readers something. But if someone was dying to write a decent stub for, say, Ken Casey (composer), now's your chance! ;-) -- 62.147.39.24 21:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I've started it at Kenneth Casey. -- Beardo 07:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homonym jazz singer

I found out there's a "black mama" jazz/R&B singer who took on the stage name of "Sweet Georgia Brown". From a cursory look, she seems notable enough that someday, someone will want to make her an article:

• " Sweet Georgia Brown has performed with Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, Fathead Newman, KoKo Taylor and Stanley Turrentine. As described in Ralph Cooper's book, she is "The Last of the Red Hot Mama's"! Starring in, "An Evening at the Cotton Club" as Bessie Smith, Georgia toured throughout Europe entertaining audiences with her high-energy performances of Jazz, Blues, and Gospel tunes. " -- from http://www.e-jazzonline.com/sweet-georgia-brown/ (a site endorsed by Dave Brubeck, see the top-right quote)
• Her website http://www.originalsweetgeorgiabrown.com/

Until someone stub her, I'm adding a small dab notice about it to help readers.
