This is from the days before I started singing the songs myself.
'Night of 100 Queens' at Sidetrack has been a yearly tradition for me since moving to Chicago many years ago. This number was meant as a farewell to the days of smoking indoors in Chicago. The smoking ban went into effect two months later. I was in the midst of quitting the filthy habit when I did this routine. Needless to say, it really helped me say goodbye to cigarettes and hello to the 30 pounds of blubber that I gained in the next six months...
Yes, I know that the sound is a bit off. Just relax and enjoy a great song performed by Dinah Washington (another prisoner of the Valley of the Dolls).
