We do not assume, based upon his hit song, that Tony Bennett had a tragic love affair in Frisco, and neither should we take every lyric Bessie sang as a personal expression.

Yeah I did notice they were speaking of Bessie's lyrics as if she wrote them. I know she had written songs but I don't believe she wrote many, or any, of the songs they played. Their enthusiam for the music made the show enjoyable for me.

Seems to me a follow up Bessie show with Chris Albertson as the guest would be a natural follow up. I'm sure Eli Smith would jump at the idea!
