A big ooops. I wrote earlier today (very, very early, which was part of the problem!) that Jackie Wilson sang on the Drifters' classic rendition of "White Christmas." Of course that's not true. As Billy Price points out in a comment below, it was Clyde McPhatter. I knew that. That's what I get for trying to write a post after a Billy Price/Nighthawks concert, the usually steel-trap quality BlueNotes mind addled by great music mixed with gin and tonic. Thanks Billy.
Here's a quick photo from last night's show, with Billy wailing in front of the Hawks. More later. Yes, the photo could be better. It's not easy holding a drink and a camera, with fans elbow-to-elbow (I'm trying to be delicate about the body parts here) all around.
