One
of Jill's earliest appearances in cabaret following the passing of her
husband Don, when she resumed her singing career, took place at venue with
the provocative name of Once Upon a Stove. We have no program
or other memorabilia dating from the engagement except for a large poster
promoting Jill's appearance. It featured this wonderful ink sketch
of Jill, which clearly captures the essence of Jill's beauty when in her
mid-30's during the early 1970's. |
