Well, Bill, I guess I should really count my blessings that you were
asleep.  If not, I'm sure that you would have been quick to tell me that
Lizzie was not born in Lake Charles, LA,   before I myself realized that I
had confused her with Nellie Lutcher

However, it wasn't all in vain........as I was searching and hoping to find
a CD that had Josephine Baker singing "Bill Bailey", I came across an
inexpensive CD of hers which I have since ordered online as I previously had
nothing in my collection by her.

Trouble is, it kind of "mushroomed" in the sense that after I found "Breezin
Along with Josephine Baker", what also popped up was an album called
"Breezin Along With Kenny Davern" ........but since that was even cheaper
than JB's, I ordered that as well.

In summation................NO WILL POWER WHATSOEVER
