[Dixielandjazz] Billy Strayhorn column from Pittsburgh Post Gazette-- includes 10 video clips

[Marek Boym]

Does this bring back memories!
I am noit very sentimental, and more so now than then, but when I
first heard the solo version of, I believe, "Lotus Blossom" (been a
long time) on "And His Mother Called Him Bill," it almost got me
crying!
Cheers
