Daddy Blues\u2019. \u00a0Mary then sang with the band to the next number, \u2018It\u2019s A Sin To Tell A Lie\u2019, (a song originally by Fats Waller, also of Billie Holiday).\u00a0 Mary does sing a lot of Bessie Smith songs, so we all think of her voice being Bessie\u2019s type, but Mary has her own unique voice and can sing any song beautifully (especially her cheeky songs too).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I filmed the next three numbers.\u00a0 One, sung by Barry, was another \u2018Bix\u2019 number called \u2018Louisiana\u2019.\u00a0 Mary sang a couple of great blues number called \u2018Organ Grinder Blues\u2019 (original singer Eva Taylor) and \u2018Down Hearted Blues\u2019.\u00a0 It was great to have captured Mary\u2019s singing on film, but I was disappointed you couldn\u2019t see her too clearly, being too dark.\u00a0 I have been too busy (as usual), but with a bit of luck, I will be purchasing \u2018the real McCoy\u2019 video camera, so hopefully will be able to put some good videos on this website.\u00a0 Meanwhile, I can\u2019t even send my films by email to the bands to check if they like them enough to allow them to be published here!\u00a0 It seems they are too big to send!\u00a0 Technology! Who\u2019d have it?\u00a0 Seriously, I will get it right soon, but here it comes, my usual remark- hmmm!\u00a0 Well at least with technology, you can look up numbers on the internet, listen to them and remind yourselves.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about you, but I cannot remember names of songs (jazz, or otherwise) until they start playing.\u00a0 No!
