[edit] Plot Overview

Lisa gets sent home from school with a terrible case of the blues. Meanwhile, Homer is distraught with the fact that Bart is whooping him at video boxing. One night Lisa meets “Bleeding Gums” Murphy, a jazz musician who teaches her how to express her feelings through music. We learn in a dream sequence that Marge was pushed to be happy by her mother and so she pushes Lisa to smile until Marge finally relents and it causes Lisa to naturally smile. Just when Homer was about to beat Bart in boxing, Marge and Lisa pull the plug. The family goes to the Jazz Hole, where “Bleeding Gums” plays a song that was written by Lisa.
