Al Reid is called (at the Columbia)
"That Little Johnny."
He semi-recites the songs, making
each word understandable. This is
necessary in Reid's case, for the lyric's
count. A quantity of talk used with
George Robie's "As a Friend" will hardly
do. They laughed at it at the Columbia,
but that bunch laugh at things that anywhere
else would be considered tragic.
Reid on Wednesday night was easily as
big a go as anything on the bill.
