Ewan Bleach (piano, clarinet, vocals)
An uncooperative Facebook denied access until fifteen minutes in...arrrgh! At which point a shaggy-haired Ewan Bleach was in the process of introducing Irving Berlin's Sunshine as a piano-vocal. In mentioning his regular piano gigs at Camden's Green Note, Bleach requested audience participation for three songs about drugs...Willie the Weeper, piano and vocals (sing-a-long), The Ghost of Smokey Joe (piano, vocals) and Jerry the Junker (piano, vocals).
Time for a waltz...When I Grow Too Old to Dream. Earlier this year at Darlington New Orleans Jazz Club, Bleach sang Midnight Blue when appearing with Frog and Henry and he reprised the number during this evening's lockdown performance (piano, clarinet and vocals).
To close, a 'moon' song, which reminded Bleach to remind us that next week (Sunday June 7) his two hour live stream will be all about the moon, that's songs with moon in the title. Oh, yes, the title...By the Light of the Silvery Moon.
