I was watching a film about Leon Redbone on Youtube and in the end credits, it named the songwriters of Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone. THe third name on the credits was Bee Palmer.

Unlike a lot of folks on Mudcat, I'm no sort of scholar. But the name Bee Palmer first became known to me through a sizzling description of her in the book Bix remembered by Ralph Berton.
THe book is fun to read, but it is frequnently regarded as rubbish by many of the top Bixophiles. They didn't like the book - many were hot under the collar because Berton said thatBix had a gay affair with his brother - who was the drummer in the band.
Bee was vocalist around the time of the HUdson Lake engage ment. She also did a vocal interpretation Bix's top number, singing the blues.

If anyone would like to clarify my disorganised thoughts on the subject, I'd be grateful.
