Hey Ken,

Suzanne here to defend Page Cavanaugh :
I think there's a difference between a cocktail party atmosphere and a cocktail hour at the lounge. I like a sedative now and then, and I also love, as you might know, to lounge. Put those two together and you've got me, a discreet server bringing my Pisco Sours at a commendable rate, a romantic seat, perhaps with a view of the darkening sky and water, and “Mamselle” seeping through the ceiling speakers, around the spokes of the 60s era sunburst chandelier. My “Man-selle” liked it too.

Well, being that Pisco Sours are indeed sedatives, I believe that they would place you in the proper frame of mind to enjoy the somnambulent strains of Page C (as those in the know surely call him). The Records From Aunt Ruth segment invites all shades of jazz fans, even those with sunburst chandeliers.
Glad you liked.
