[Dixielandjazz] Poignant tunes

[Don Ingle]

Whoops, Will:

>"Little Girl Blue"- I wonder if Rodgers ever wrote a bad lyric?<
Not sure he wrote any. Lorenz Hart wrote the Lyrics to that tune. Oscar
Hammerstein took it up later. Rodgers wrote the music.
But the tune you add is certainly one of the better bittersweet songs.
