[Dixielandjazz] Singers

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

  From Judy -
As for the moans about "girls" with no talent,  ruining shows... even CDs...
why let them on in the first place?  I've seen so many pretty young things
who can barely hold  a tune come and go frequently on the arm of a much
older , even A list musician.

Sounds like someone just got off the turnip truck.  Welcome to the big city.
Larry
