When you watch Otis Spahn play piano and sing  " ain't nobody's business if  I do" I am sometimes  over whelmed when Otis  puts his hand up gently to the side of his face for emphasis to what he is singing and piano playing. It's the blues at it's best when Otis plays piano  on " ain't nobodies business if I do. " it's so emotional; like if you were talking with Dante about Beatrice. She died young you know. 

Step out of time and contemplate existence. It's quite brief you know.
