Requests From the Bar was born out of the desire of my audience to have me record some of the more obscure songs that I perform. In addition to my own originals, I sing the songs of Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter, Edith Piaf, Blu Lu Barker, Trixie Smith and more.  Most of the tunes are Vaudeville Blues, like “Jack, I’m Mellow” or “Give Me A Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer” and  “My Castle’s Rockin‘.”  I also have included some swinging jazz standards.

Requests From the Bar is a 2012 release that may be purchased at live concerts.
