About Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home:

I chose Bill Bailey in memory of Bill Barr, my dad’s long time ragtime piano playing music partner. Bill would really go to town on his ragtime piano and my dad would play right along on his tenor banjo. Those were some of my best times growing up. We wanted to bring the feel of a Dixieland swing jam to this song, so we enlisted the beautiful voice and energy of traditional jazz singer and songwriter, Albanie Falletta to sing with me. Albanie hails from New Orleans, and brings its Joy in full!
