Song of the moment

Thanks for the LW, Don.

And now that you've heard Juke "in the original", here's a guy who knew how to "interpret in in literal usage" and "make it his own", George *Harmonica* Smith, the true "Father in The Harp" to countless West Coast musicians that he not only inspired but personally mentored one-on-one.

(The ending is pure theatrics.

According to all I've read and heard about George, he was really a "gentle giant".)

the first time i heard this lady sing, it was this song off her album, "absolute torch and twang"..........her voice hit me so hard, that i left work and went right out to buy this album!........i've seen her live twice and her voice always wows me!..........

interesting progression in the musical tastes, and public expectations of female musical performers.........about 60 years between that first andrews sisters clip and this one........imo, neither is necessarily "better" than the other........just different..........all the ladies have talent............they just showcase it differently, imo.........and, this live performance rocked the house that night!..............
