Totally fascinating show. It never struck me, till about three songs in tonight, that the Faulkner story "That Evening Sun" must be referencing this lyric... | |

from wikipedia -- you played both versions, i think -- The version with Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong on cornet was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1993. The 1929 version by Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra (with Henry "Red" Allen) was inducted there in 2008. | |
