Lemon Drop 1974

Usually I shun scatting, but Ella Fitzgerald was basically half trumpet.
I've always been proud to have this lady as my namesake.
She was a powerhouse. All class. Her version of At Last rivals Etta's in my opinion, in a different, subtle way. Something 'bout those E_ _A names huh?
(hmm, has there been any amazing Emma's I'm not aware of?)

If the morning is sluggish, if the day is bleak, which today isn't, it's actually beautiful outside, but whatever, Lemon Drop is the tonic.

"Thank you ladies and gentleman, thank you so much"
