[Dixielandjazz] verse

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Willie the Lion Smith was not old and had a vigorous bellow when doing the vocal bit on his LP for the GRAND AWARD label (all now on You Tube)  

"A good song,"  he roared, "needs a parful voice!" 

Truly a Joysy accent 
(non-Britons will boggle if I say Deep Joysy, from Fundamold NJ.Others will remember the wordmangling vaudevillian "Professor" Stanley Unwin, almost certainly also on YouTube) 

Sad as it feels to deJoysify anything I did eventually gather he meant "powerful verse!"
Of cawrsss (Choarss -- chorus)
