As previously promise, here we have some slightly better quality photos of Miss Lily (which reminds me, I need to edit the previous posts, as there is only two L’s in her (stage?) name, not three). It looks as though Ira’s camera is introducing some noise to the pictures, so we’ll need to go over the settings currently in use. For now, I’ve just used a couple of plugins and some light airbrushing to cover the speckles.

Hey, can I steal one of these photos to put on my blog?

[...] First of all, if you’re into the blues, jazz, classic rock and rhythm and blues (old school–not R&B), check out pianist/vocalist Miss Lily at the Northwind Pub near Ramstor on Respublika Avenue. She plays everyday but Sunday from 9pm to 1am. Miss Lily did everything from Duke Ellington to Mustang Sally to Celine Deon’s “You Save the Best for Last” when we saw her. And she did a lot of trying to get the audience to dance and mugging to the crowd. You can see some pics of Miss Lily here. [...]

@Alex - hmmm, I have to admit I didn’t actually listen to the video before converting and uploading it to YouTube - currently waiting for it to finish buffering and I’ll check if it is me or not…
@KZBlog - you have mail

@Alex - Hey, it wasn’t too bad, I’ve heard worse. I’m just grateful there were no cameras when we went to a Karaoke club with Joe and I tried to sing a Green Day song. Oh, and yes, I had had a few vodkas by the time this video was shot

Lol, thought so. I wasn’t dissing your vocal ability but. I was genuinely impressed that you uploaded it to youtube, even if you didn’t realise it was on there

Two or three “ride, sally, ride”s - backed up by other (nameless) members of our table, the rest was all Miss Lily and Joe
