Hi, MMD:  Sure Bob Billings heard of Mandy Randolph -- he just
didn't realize it; we all have.  As well as being a talented pianist
who cut a few rolls back in the 1920s, Amanda "Mandy" Randolph was
also a pioneering black actress.  She went on to immortalize "Mama"
on radio, and later appeared on TV's "Amos 'N Andy"!  See
