BENT PERSSON'S ALL-STARS: Sleepy Time Down South

[swingyoucats]

I believe that is a Union Jack behind Bent, NOT the Confederate flag. And since Louis was color blind when it came to music, what difference should it make to anyone that these are "white" musicians playing a "black" song. You know, Mildred Bailey recorded this song around the same time as Louis did: should we boycott her record? Might I suggest in the most gentle terms that you close your eyes and listen to the music. if it sounds good, then perhaps that is all anyone should ask for?

What? All white guys and a Confederate flag? Riding the crest of a lovely old song.

Louis would be proud.
