Very interestin puzzle, with a great solving process. Thanks for it. I'm still trying to find a way of logically solving C26-29. All the rest can be done with line and color logic.

I've done it. You will see that the last 1 on R5 can only go on C30, since all other columns only accept a red. So you can complete C30, which allows you to place a black square on R7C28 (and, in consequence, also on R8C28).

Now, since all blacks have 1 or 2 reds above it, you can see that the last black on R6 must have only one red above it. This can only be accomplished on C28 and C29, so we can add dots to C26 and C27. This forces R7C26 and R7C27 to have either red or dots, but NOT blacks, so the remaining black on R7 must go on C29.

Line logic solves the rest.

Pretty hard voice to duplicate,Billie Holiday is probably the most popular female jazz singer ever,mostly because of her voice and singing style which was you either love it or hate it sort of thing.

kinda depends on whether you listen to early or later Billie Holliday. her later work shows the damage her addiction did to her voice, but even tho' her voice is quavery you can still hear a bit of her former genius.
