Topic: Ruby Smith on Bessie Smith. Previously unpublished interview segment.

[Chris A]

I have uploaded more excerpts from my interviews with Ruby Walker Smith, Bessie's niece, This one runs about 45 minutes and does not duplicate what was issued on CD by Columbia. I guarantee that you have not heard this one before?Ruby was in top form, as usual, and this was the first of our interviews, made February 7, 1971.  There is also a new interview in the series on Sam Wooding.
