Best of the Blues

More of a Cray Day:

The music for the times:

And so on and so on.

He's got the name for the blues (as well as the nous):

Lon the Don and Van the Man:

A new Ella F doc on BBC2 on Saturday night, so:

Most YT clips of these lot seem to be just static, so here's one that isn't:

"Why don't you cry for me baby?
Help me make it through
Why don't you see me lately?
I'm sad that I'm true

I looked up the page and your portrait it was mine
Knew it was the only one of its kind
I pulled out my money on the run
Did not mean to hurt anyone...

Several years of rubies and pearls at her breast
She's a demon,
She's a demon,
She's a demon-lover just like all the rest
Or else she's billing out her wings
In the many shades of contentment she brings

I've got to hide it baby
Because of you
And I hope that you're proud now honey
It's all I can do....

...Isn't it a mystery how we come to fall
In and out of love when sympathy's so small...

Why don't you call me sugar
Like you used to do?
I know your kisses are pure poison
I'm a countin' on you "

The most musical Porkpie of them all:
