OMG: I actually saw Ethel Smith Live in concert (in 1978!) play Tico Tico. I was a budding faggot playing the Hammond as well, but could never get my Tico Tico speed or flair to her level. She was quite a trip, and even in her 80s, was an excellent organist.

Wow, she was wonderful! What fun! And, Bob, while I didn't know who 'Ethel Smith' was, I do indeed know who Carmen Miranda is.

That was Ethel Smith. A wonderful lady I had the privilege to meet on a cruise may years ago. The great Brazilan bombshell, Carmen Miranda also sang this song in a movie back in the 30's or 40's. Okay, you young guys have no idea who she is either...right?

Man! "I mean, Lady..." It's bad when even gays 75 years in the future can tell you were nerdess.

I'm not sure what I just witnessed... her skills with that organ were just mesmerizing.

Who was that?
