Dear Marek,
Then who wrote the following sent to the DJML on 16 April?:

I've seen her on You Tube and she sounds great.  But some of the stuff in
the review sounds scary:
""Come On-a My House" -- the quasi-Armenian folk song popularized by Rosemary Clooney in 1951 -- with what she called a "swampy groove."

> I don't agree that BG was boring.  

Nor do I! Never ever.
I was adding BG and the other musicians/artists Stan Freeman recorded with, who were not mentioned in the Wiki link I provided.
It is the Rosemary Clooney 'hit' I consider boring.
Cheers and beers,
Bill.
