The skinny woman reminds me of Louis Prima`s selection from Capitol
Records T836, "Call of the Wildest". The selection is "Closest to the
Bone". We had Louis Prima V-Disks aboard our ship during WW-2. They were
about the most popular of all our disks. With today`s "correctness"
Louis would be relegated to V-Disks or Vegas. He was a huge hit in both
places.
In Louie`s lyric, "the nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. When his
sweetie drinks a glass of wine, she looks just like a thermometer", and
other crazy stuff. Louis Prima was one of a kind. We could use some of
his fun and musicianship today. His Cornet would compete with Louis
Armstrong or Harry James. His orchestra could compete too. Sam Butera`s
Saxophone was competition for Tex Beneke. Too bad the great music and
entertainers are almost gone.
