A shot of a man on a piano, a man on a clarinet, and a seated woman. The shot widens to reveal many more people in the shot at tables in the bar. Some are smoking. There is a blonde woman “singing” the song that we hear. There is a closeup of her singing. Cut to another woman drinking and listening. Shot of the blonde woman singing again, and the man with the clarinet appears to be flirting with the woman watching. She is singing about the blues.
