| Shirley Temple Black passed away today, and though she didn't play steel guitar she was one fine addition to the entertainment industry. With her talent probably if someone would have shown her a steel guitar back then she probably would have been able to play it. Her stairs dancing scene with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson is a classic. RIP Little Colonel. |

There is no question she was a very special talent. To me the character she played personified what is right in the World.

If front page stories in the NY Times, the BBC, the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, etc. are "barely a mention" then I'd like to know what you consider "mainstream media". Her passing was covered extensively worldwide.
She didn't get much mention here, but that's because she wasn't associated with steel guitar at all.

Not worth worrying about.

I saw a full report on the CBS evening news...
Then today several hours of her old movies on more than one channel. Still worth watching...
