Well spotted Joe,
I had forgotten all about that version. And its alternative title "Lotus Blosson", the tune that started this thread.
Julia Lee (vcl,p) acc: by Dave Cavanaugh (cl/ts) Jack Marshall (g) Charlie Drayton (sb) Sam "Baby" Lovett (d)
Los Angeles. 14 November 14, 1947
2480-2 Marijuana Bear Family (G)BCD15770-EI [CD]
2480-3 Lotus blossom Cap 1376, Stash ST103, Charly (E)CRB1175, Bear
Family (G)BCD15770-EI [CD]
Note: Two different songs were recorded for Mx 2480.
Same song, different titles, I suggest.
I have the Stash LP and a copy of a 2CD that also contains her 1945 (Premier/Mercury) and 1947 (Capitol) versions.
