[Dixielandjazz] An Inquiry

[jazzdude39]

It may be the song "Fever" which was recorded in a studio, but was a big hit 
here in the US in the late 50's. On the recording Joe Harnell was heard 
snapping his fingers and it may have been Peggy replicating that in person. 
Joe Was a fine pianist in his own regard, but just happened to be in the 
studio when the cut was made and it was left in.
