      <![CDATA[My father, who went to medical school in New Orleans in the 1930s, was a big jazz fan. He taught me 'St. James Infirmary' and 'Minnie the Moocher' when I was in kindergarten and when I got quite a bit older, told me that the actual St. James Infirmary was a hospital famous for treating venereal diseases.

      <![CDATA[I fear that whatever I may try to tentatively write/formulate here , will be as balladistic and fragmentary as the "Life-affirming menace" of "St. James infirmary" itself.<br>
 <br>
I very much like what you wrote about this very particular song, which I have been completely enamora(te)d with for the last days  ( for special and personal reasons  Doug Duffy`s version is now the closest to me,  I know, that this is  not the best rendition, of course  ).<br>
 <br>
 Some of your words/formulations I have intuitively found  as the shortest possible expression/suggestion about the  truth about this song or even about Life itself. <br>
 <br>
For instance:<br>
"  ´She could have looked this wide world all over, she'd never have found a sweet man like me.´ (Emphasis added.)

      <![CDATA[The author of this essay mentions that he owns a copy of the Hall Johnson Choir performing the St. James Infirmary Blues. It was a Google search for just this recording that led me to this site.
