“Me and My Gin” by Bessie Smith
Writing a Gay News Roundup usually puts me in touch with my blues. And every time I think blues, I think Bessie Smith’s “Me and My Gin.” Crackling soundtrack, low trumpet, heavy voice, silly enough to keep me from going nuts. Check!
This one goes out to Justin Aarberg, whom I eulogize in the Gay News Roundup. I’m sorry, Justin.
