May I recommend the delights of Swanage? It's a purely Brit fest (with a few foreign visitors such as Greg Abate) and pitched very much 'middle of the road' with separate tents for the trad/mouldy figs and dirty boppers but I've always found it an enjoyable weekend. Any fans of Alan Barnes (BillF?) will be in their element ! Well, although I travelled as far as Leeds (!!!) to see Eric Alexander, Swanage would be stretching it a bit! But I see what you mean. I'd certainly be along to hear Barnesy, Simon Spillett, Dave Cliff and Brandon Allen, to mention but a few. Interesting to see a group called Martin Speake Standards Trio. Must be the thing nowadays - on Sunday 22nd I'm going to hear the New York Standards Quartet in Southport. Greg Abate is certainly aware of the trend - when I saw him last he began by saying he'd been told the audience liked standards and proceeded to hand out to the group his new originals dedicated to the proprietors of a pasta restaurant in West Virginia!

On the Mercury CD it's given as "Au Privave", but the liner notes include a reproduction of the LP back cover, where it's "Après Vous". The mis-spelling explanation seems a reasonable one; I used to think it was the name of a French bar or similar, as traditionally their names often began with "Au".

Or 78 for my age group! Mine was Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" on the Brunswick label in 1956 when I was 16.

Boasting again!

"High yellow" occurs in the lyrics one of W C Handy's blues - can't remember which one. Louis Armstrong sings it on the Armstrong Plays Handy album.
