Thread Name: Singing two songs at the same time.
Subject: RE: Singing two songs at the same time.
Re "Bill Bailey", at our Monday night bluegrass slanted sessions the fiddle player used to play the Kenny Baker instrumental "Washington County" which was actually his version of "Washington & Lee Swing" and had been recorded many years earlier by jazz Musicians as "Louisiana Swing". When a back up musician queried the chord progression the reply was "Bill Bailey". That is why I now sometimes sing the lyrics to Bill Bailey when I hear "Washington County".
