NOTE:
In the video about Dinah Washington, I mention that she took mercury shots to keep her weight down. One friend suggested that she was "crazy". However, here is the best explanation of her temperament.
Mad hatter disease is a disease of the nervous system caused by mercury poisoning.
The name refers to the effects of chronic mercury exposure on hatters who had to work with mercury-treated fur and felt. It was an occurrence in the 1800s. Mercury was once used in the making of hats. This is known to affect the nervous systems of the hatter, causing them to shake and seem insane. Mercury exposure can cause aggressiveness, irrational behavior and mood swings. [Wikipedia]

I attended this first of the Lauderhill Jazz Series and it was
an awesome night of live entertainment. This was just one of the many
OFF THE CHAIN performances that night. We went from finger popping, to
laughing, to hand clapping, to cheering and crying. It was a wonderful
flashback of familiar and new material, like "Treat Me Right
". Thanks Joan again for being such an enthusiastic entertainer. --
