Music for Sasquatch

Last Monday when I was in Molly's listening to the jukebox someone asked the bartender what her favorite love song was. She didn't miss a beat when she came up with "Is you is or is you ain't my baby!"

Then, this morning, with my last thoughts of last night still on my mind, I got up, made myself some Coffee with Chicory and put on a 10 year old album by a great New Orleans singer/guitarist named John Fohl. What pops up unexpectedly is a song that seems completely appropriate to my morning and my thoughts of last night. The song is that bartender's favorite, "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby."

There are many versions of this song, but this is one of my favorites.

It's also a very good question.
