i won't be touching this. ri could, though.
but continuing geneology... no harry connick is no sinatra. but there wouldn't
be a harry connick without a sinatra. and there wouldn't be a sinatra without
a big joe williams.
twice, i had the privilege to -watch- (watches everywhere, eh?) big joe in a
bizarre context... at a show which included pat boone, bob hope, and garth
brooks. what was amazing to me was to hear how much of big joe was lost
in the move to sinatra, almost as much as was lost in the move from
mississippi fred to elvis.
too, i saw elvis, the other day, in lexington, eating bbq.
