The James Logan Courier

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you look when they take your picture. For 25-year-old Zeddie Little of New York, an affable smile amidst the pain of long-distance running that was captured during a 10k race in Charleston, S.C. turned him into a viral phenomenon knows as "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy." Nearly 1.4 million people have view the photo in recent days on Flickr and it has been uploaded countless times to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. A simple photo captured the hearts of many, how did this even happen?

The James Logan Advanced and Chamber choirs held their kickoff concert in the Performing Arts Center, giving a preview of the sets that they will perform in competion tomorrow in Anaheim.

With each choir performing three songs, the show was about 45 minutes long and only cost $5 per ticket, but it was definitely worth the money and the time. The students were able to showcase how hard they have worked by performing beautifully in each song.

From Wikipedia:
Johnny Dodds (April 12, 1892 – August 8, 1940)[1] was an American New Orleans based jazz clarinetist and alto saxophonist, best known for his recordings under his own name and with bands such as those of Joe "King" Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Lovie Austin and Louis Armstrong. Dodds (pronounced "dots") was also the older brother of drummer Warren "Baby" Dodds. The pair worked together in the New Orleans Bootblacks in 1926.

Born in Waveland, Mississippi, United States, he moved to New Orleans in his youth, and studied clarinet with Lorenzo Tio. He played with the bands of Frankie Duson, Kid Ory, and Joe "King" Oliver. Dodds went to Chicago and played with Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, with which he first recorded in 1923.
