Torchy

So, I’m sittin’ in Louie’s Bar and Grill sippin’ a Gimlet and the lights (already pretty dim) dim even further. A little lady with a ukulele sidles out onto the stage: Ginette Machin et son Ukulele. Yeah. She’s french. From Ile-de-France. Cool songs. Make my drink taste better.
But that ain’t what this is about.

What is “torchy”?

High and squeaky or low and cheeky? Low altitude or all attitude? I dunno. Maybe a french accent and low lights…and a ukulele.
