Dear Robert,
You debil. You have sidetracked me again.
With Dorothy Donegan, who I think we have shared before, and your side reference to H. Clinton.
Following the prompt, I went to YouTube and found the June 18, 1993, 40th anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival, held in a tent on the lawn of the White House.
Remarkable.
That led into Donegan's 1945 film appearance with Gene Rogers and the Cab Calloway Orch (seen a few time before) then back to the never-ending-boogie at a Northsea Festival I had not viewed before.
Thank you.
Time to go back to work.
Cheers,
Bill.
