Thanks Dick

You can also see/hear more of her on her website:  http://www.ritareys.eu/

Great songs there like "I Thought About You" which some Dixieland  
Bands in the NYC/Philadelphia area utilize.

I first saw/talked with her when she was at the Village Vanguard in  
NYC, circa 1956 or so with Art Blakey, Horace Silver and the Jazz  
Messengers. I thought she was dead until we re-connected via myspace a  
few weeks ago.

What a marvelous voice.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
