Citified desendants.

Dinah is terrific, but doesn’t sing blues here.
Sorry for interrupting your electronics seminar.

If I had to choose between the two versions it would be Bessie every time. THAT lady could sing the blues like no other. This is one of my favorite songs of Bessie’s. I wish that more people could hear her sing. She is in a class by herself.</p> Sorry TRex…Dinah is good but she just doesn’t compare with Bessie.
