AHA! Another classic jazz connosieur. :)
in reply to a message by Barb
She was great, wasn't she? I used to have a tape that had Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne and Sarah Vaughn (or was it Vaughan? :shrug:.)Anyway, kids (and "adults") will find anything and everything to tease a child about. Pav, Dav, remember the fallout between Elaine and Nanaea? :still chuckling about that:Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Ah, Ella Fitzgerald sang "summertime" better than anyone I ever could :)
The Elaine incident was a true classic, even though I feel EagleBeak2 -- remember, the fellow with a mission to defend the posthumous honor of his unsightly beloved Russian Emperess -- was an even funnier loonie!!!

Yeah. :)Sometimes I wish Nanaea was still here. She could keep people on-topic better than anybody else on the board (except Mike C. when he has the time to edit.)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Alas, both Elaine and Eaglebeak2 were before my time, or perhaps I should be thankful. Ella Fitzgerald though...ah, do I ever remember her "Summertime"..
