[Dixielandjazz] Songs one hates.

[Jon Stutler]

Rae Ann:
I think I was standing beside Tommy for both of the "Sugar Blues" renditions at The Bavarian Grill in Plano, TX.  It's amazing what a nicely-worded request (followed by a BIG tip!) can do!  Man, I miss Tommy.
Regards,
Jon

Tommy Loy stated on this list that he hated "Sugar Blues" and wouldn't play it even if asked to by his (long-dead) mother.  I referred to that statement one time and Tommy said "Rae, I had to eat my words.  I've played it twice since I made that statement."
