[Dixielandjazz] Was Plunger

Dear Robert,
That Cleo Gibson record you mentioned was also, at one stage in my youth, thought to be an incognito Bessie Smith.
Which then made me think of a young(ish) Ethel Waters who paid a cheeky homage to two of Columbia's star blues artists,
Clara and Bessie Smith (unrelated), in October 1925 with her "Maybe Not At All".

You debil Robert, you started it.

Very kind regards,
Bill.
