[Dixielandjazz] Keely Smith Performs during April in NYC

[Steve Barbone]

If in NYC during April, you may want to see this lady, Tuesday through
Saturdays. She is tearing up the joint. Well worth the music charge. Woody
Allen is there on Monday nights if you are so inclined.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
