[Dixielandjazz] Re: Ethel Waters singing "His Eye is on the Sparrow?"

[David Richoux]

Yes, I now have the file - thanks Bill!

Sing Miller's version is very nice - I have played it on my show  
several times over the years. My first real contact with New Orleans  
jazz came in the late 1970s when a comedy marching band I am still in  
(Los Trancos Woods Community Marching Band) would open for  
Preservation Hall when they played on July 4th at Stanford  
University. Alan Jaffe always asked our band to play - maybe to show  
off his band as so much better, but anyway, I got to hear some great  
music and a year or so after that I was playing it!
