it's de-lovely

Song of the Day: it's de-lovely, 1936, Cole Porter, Ella Fitzgerald, #172.

I don't think this will go into a set list.

Added to the With Intro project.

true love

Song of the Day: true love, 1956, Cole Porter, #169.

This song is not going into a set list, but I remember that my mother liked it - probably for the guardian angels - so I wanted to record it.

nature boy

Song of the Day: nature boy, 1948, Nat King Cole, #168.

This seems like a nice song for the solstice, today at 4:48pm. Happy Solstice - the real reason for the season!

on the sunny side of the street

Song of the Day: on the sunny side of the street, 1930, Jimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields, #166.

There are rumors that Fats Waller wrote this song. Fats was known to sell songs for $100 when he was short on cash. I think Jimmy McHugh might have been his main beneficiary. In some biography, Fats' son said that whenever Fats heard this song he would get an odd scowl on his face.

I don't think this is going into a set list. Even w an instrumental verse intro & repeating the bridge & last verse w an outro, it is only coming in at 1:45. Too short.
