[Dixielandjazz] Vocal Gaffe

[Robert Ringwald]

Back before I turned 21, I grew a beard to make me look older.  It worked.  I was playing night clubs since I was 18.  

About the age of 20 I started to sing.  I was incredibly nervous about singing.  

One of the first songs I learned was "Hard Hearted Hanna."  

The first time I sang it I sang, 

"Oh boy, she's the Teddy bear's pajamas" instead of "Oh Boy, she's the polar bear's pajamas."  

My wife who was sitting in the audience almost fell out of her chair laughing.

"There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship 
First their cuisine is unsurpassed.
Second their service is superb.
And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first."
--Winston Churchill.
