Song of the Day: what a difference a day makes, 1934, Maria Grever; 1959, Dinah Washington; #178.

Originally created in 1934 by Mexican songwriter Maria Grever as “cuando vuelva a tu lado” - “when I return to your side”. English lyrics that same year by Stanley Adams, and recorded by the Dorsey Brothers.

Song of the Day: taking a chance on love, 1940, Vernon Duke, Ethel Waters, #177.

This song is from the musical “Little Cabin in the Sky”, the 1st all-black musical on Broadway. The movie is really cute, I greatly enjoyed it.

There is also a 1943 video of this song by Judy Garland & Johnny Mercer for the DoD. They do the 1st go-round, plus an original  go-round I suspect Mercer wrote for the occasion. Go-round === verse, verse, bridge, verse.

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.

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!

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.

Song of the Day: fascinating rhythm, 1924, George Gershwin, Ella Fitzgerald, Antonio Carlos Jobim, #165.

Song of the Day: how little we know, 1944, Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer, #162.

This is the 1st song Lauren Bacall sings in "To Have and To Have Not", the movie where Bogie met Bacall. Hoagy is in the movie as the piano player Cricket. It's a fav.

With this song recorded, I am 2 songs away from having the 15 for Set #7 in Jaz's Jukebox.

Note, the Song of the Day queue is a bit backed up, so I am going to record a couple of songs/week until it gets to a more reasonable depth.

Just realized I am posting this right after I got the news that our Naples, FL house came through Hurricane Ian with flying colors, no damage, solar panels produced 35 kWh today!
