The Things They Say!
This is a good opportunity to say thanks to BSH for their support of the jazz scene in the North East (and beyond) - it's no exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for them many, many fine musicians, bands and projects across a huge cross section of jazz wouldn't be getting reviewed at all, because we're in the "desolate"(!) North. (M & SSBB on F/book 23/12/24)

What the **** did I do? You want to know sumpin' 'bout that floozie Pearl?
She ain't so darn nice!
Lulu
For starters, honey, you always want to do, what the boys don't want to do.
I mean to say - When you strut your stuff around - OMG London Bridge is falling down!
Another thing, Lulu. When you get blue, frankly, you go cuckoo Like a clock up on the shelf - you're the kind of smartie that breaks up every party.
Hullabalooloo, guys don't bring Lulu.
She'll come by herself - she always does!
And goes home the same way I might add!
Pearlie babe,just ask your friend Rose how she got her turned up nose - you might end up with the same.
Lulu (undefeated 20 fights.)
Oh Yeah?
Well meet me tonight in Dreamland!
Pearl
I'll be around
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your nose like you broke mine.
Rose
