Slog - Comments on Quincy Jones Saves Ernestine Anderson from Homelessness http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/ernestine_anderson_saved_from_homelessne From the IHT: SEATTLE: Jazz vocalist Ernestine Anderson's U.S. home has been saved from foreclosure — for now. Thanks, in part, to music legend Quincy Jones and contemporary jazz artist Diane Schuur. More than $43,000 poured in — including donations from Jones and Schuur — after news stories about the Seattle jazz legend's financial woes, said Carmen Gayton, a friend of Anderson's family. And now please enjoy Ms. Anderson singing a cover of that Buffalo Springfield song, "about the youth rebellion in Los Angeles."...

Anderson is one of dozens of people facing foreclosure in her Central District neighborhood. More than 200 houses face foreclosure in Anderson's zip code, according to Realty Trac, a Web site that tracks foreclosures.

I'm glad her house was saved, but that is the worst arrangement of "For What It's Worth" I have ever heard.

But I'm very glad she gets to stay put.

She has lived there 50 years or something. That house had to be paid for. Did someone swindle her to get a Home Equity loan or something?
