I'm a little older than most of you and remember the "Vargas girls"
Alberto Vargas did for Esquire very well. I am reminded of how lovely
they were every time I pull out the CD "The Last of the Whorehouse
Piano Players" By Ralph Sutton and Jay McShann with one of his nudes
on the front. Photography is wonderful but nothing can touch the
allure of those Vargas drawings. Betty Paige just couldn't compete,
even in Playboy. And, come to think of it the music is great too,
that's why I pull it out of the drawer ... the illustration is just
the bonus. I'm going to dub off a copy to have in the car, minus the
illustration however. Just great piano playing!
