Marion Harris – After You’ve Gone (1918)
I prefer Bessie Smith’s version from 1927 or Django Reihardt
From Mutual Aid:
Aren’t you the first to scold over not keeping to thread?
I love this music too, and have just watched again the BBC’s 1978 Pennies From Heaven, and ordered more Al Bowlly CDs.
But surely this should be in Off-topic.
This is now for talking about Jazz, isn’t it?
“Can we post animal stories here? Or compare English and French grammar?”
Only if one can get away with it. 😆

I thought you would have preferred Doctor Doolittle and listening to Percy Edwards all day.

I heard that for Xmas you got Capital on audiobook, so you can go jogging with it and play it while driving.
Btw, how’s your project progressing: setting the Theory of Surplus Value to music?
This is better :
Yay! Great! 🙂
Re: Dennis Potter:
“The brilliance and novelty of Dennis Potter’s idea: the antithesis of a musical. A character’s face can be wracked with misery and suffering whilst a jolly pop song comes out of his mouth. I remember seeing a homeless man in Paris, sitting crumpled with his head in his hands, by a huge poster of a happy girl promoting a de luxe motor car).”
Shocking that no one has mentioned that there was a late SPGBer who had a brief cameo in ‘Pennies From Heaven’.

And do you intend to keep his or her identity all to yourself, Imposs and not share?
You wrote and I listened.
Just stumbled across this wee 13 minute documentary on YouTube which features Ron Melia (stage name Ronnie Ross), which dates from 1963/4. If you blink you’ll miss it, but I spotted a Socialist Standard on his sofa at the 1 minute mark.
If you’re wondering, this is the Socialist Standard that Ron Melia had on the sofa next to him. It’s the June 1962 issue. You can read it in its entirety here.
