[Dixielandjazz] Snowy Morning Blues to strt a thread

[David Richoux]

There are several good versions of "Baby, it's Cold Outside" Ella &  
Louis Jordan, Louis Armstrong & Velma Middleton, Ray Charles & Betty  
Carter  and a lot more ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby,_It's_Cold_Outside 
  )

(I like that one because it is seasonal, but not a Christmas song!)
