Here's a teaser of Just One of Those Things, from my concert with the Terre Haute Symphony on September 24, 2022. We recorded the whole concert which will be released soon. Until then, I'll release some singles from that concert. Here's one of my favorite Cole Porter songs with an orchestration I adapted from our quartet version.

286: Sway
It's been a while since my last diary... between being on the road and having Covid it's been a long few weeks. My voice is starting to get back to normal though it's still a little husky.
This song was written in 1953 originally by Mexican composers Luis Demetrio and Pablo Beltrán Ruiz and English lyrics were added later by Norman Gimbel. I sang some of the Spanish lyrics, as well.

288: Ain't That a Kick in the Head
I'm singing this Wednesday night with The New York Pops so thought it would be good to make a diary of it.
Had a great time in Florida and thanks to all who came to see the show!
Ain't That a Kick in the Head was written in 1960 with music by Jimmy Van Heusen and lyrics by Sammy Cahn. It was first recorded on May 10, 1960, by Dean Martin in a swinging big band jazz arrangement conducted by Nelson Riddle. Martin performed the song in the 1960 heist film Ocean's 11 in an alternate arrangement featuring vibraphonist Red Norvo and his quartet.

Close To You - With the Terre Haute Symphony
This is another selection from my show in September with the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra.
This is from one of my very favorite Frank Sinatra albums that he recorded in 1957 with the Hollywood String Quartet. Daniel Aizenshtadt played that lead solo violin part beautifully.

Song 84: Paris Always Will Have You
Premiere of new song today!
#quarantunes #togetherathome #songsofcomfort
Walking along the Champs Elysee
I wandered by a small cafe
And as I wandered by a Bourdeaux beauty I did spy
I whispered in her eye
I don't know how you say but hey I like you so I think I'll say hi
Led to wine along the river
The Seine knew just when we kissed
Some say they'll always have Paris
But Paris always will have you
Every street like a masterpiece
and you the muse for every scene
The Louvre was just as moved by your Mona Lisa style
And as the sun sank down
Eiffel lent a trifle of delightful as the moon came around
We strolled in the grand cathedral
Notre Dame was aplomb with love
Some say they'll always have Paris
but I say Paris always will have you
Now when I wander back to Paris
Though I know you won't be there
Each place I wander by that we huddled that one night
There's your silhouette nigh
Dancing and romancing from Les Halles to fair Versailles and
Someday no one will remember that night of our rendezvous
But somewhere in the lights of Paris
Will burn the memory of you
Yes some say they'll always have Paris
But I say Paris always will have you
and me
just we
oi oi oi

Song 78: The Heartbeat of New York (Original)
Today I premiere a song that I started writing when I knew I was going to be moving out of Manhattan and didn't finish until last night. It started as a poem, which is unusual for my songwriting process. Been feeling a lot of emotions about the city that I love and helped get me in the place to finish this.
Here are the lyrics:
The Heartbeat of New York
So many people barely hanging on
By a thread or a silver spoon
And they each own a share of Washington Square
On a Tuesday afternoon
Yellow taxis purr then start to roar
A set of silhouettes lingers in the hall
That good girl next door isn’t home anymore
She’s running with the heartbeat of New York
These streets are paved with gold under cold concrete
They’ll take away your soul they’ll make you feel complete
And though they take their toll they’ll always be
The beating heart of New York City in me
A siren sounds down Fifth Avenue
Hark the holy angels sing in Herald Square
A trust fund troubadour sings the blues to marble floors
Strumming with the heartbeat of New York
In dreams of steel and stone mixed with blood and heat
I’ll make my way alone down 42nd street
And though this ain’t my home, I’ll never leave
The beating heart of New York City in me
Hearts beat as one some beat us down
Some lift us up some let us drown
And if I get lost, oh I know I’ll be found
In the beating heart of New York City
New York City in me
And as the Empire sun sinks on stormy seas
A million lights turn on this town that never sleeps
If I can make it here oh I’m down on my knees
To the beating heart of New York City
New York City in me
Under a streetlight on Delancey street
Or maybe on a bench somewhere in Central Park
I’ll meet you anywhere you want to go tonight
Living in the heartbeat of New York

Lyrics:
I've had enough subway trains
take me down mysterious lanes
I've had too much I've had too few
But I'll never have enough of you
I've had enough of your all night talks
Had enough angry walks
Sometimes I've had it haven't you?
But I will never have enough of you
Say you need me say you care
Your love please do declare
You're the one that I will always sigh for baby
I've had enough Sunday blues
Paid enough hard earned dues
I may be crazy but it's true
I'll never have enough of you
Say you need me say you care
Your love please do declare
You're the one that I will always sigh for baby
I've had enough Monday blues
Dodged enough high-heeled shoes
I may be crazy but it's true
I'll Never have enough of you

This is not to be confused with the Southern gospel song written by W.F. & Marjorie Crumley. The song was published in 1924 and featured in George White's Scandals of 1924.
There were a number of popular versions in 1924 and 1925 by Paul Whiteman, Ray Miller, Marion Harris and Cliff Edwards (aka "Ukulele Ike") with the Whiteman version being top-rated.
One of the later better-known versions was by The Four Lads. This recording was made on August 18, 1952 and released by Columbia Records. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on October 18, 1952. It peaked at #22 on the charts.
Another quick take of one of my favorite Beatles' songs.

My first 4k video!
I fell in love with George Gershwin's, Rhapsody in Blue when I was 12 years old. I learned it the best I could and then kind of left it behind until recently.
The version that I always loved most is the piano solo with Ferde Grofe's symphonic arrangement. Essentially this version is a hybrid between the symphonic version, with the invidiual instruments being played (or strummed) on acoustic piano , the piano solo version and the two piano version.

Rhapsody in Blue is a 1924 musical composition by American composer George Gershwin for solo piano and jazz band, which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects.
Commissioned by bandleader Paul Whiteman, the composition was orchestrated by Ferde Grofé several times, including the original 1924 scoring, "theater orchestra" setting published in 1926, and the symphony orchestra scoring published in 1942, though completed earlier. The piece received its premiere in the concert, An Experiment in Modern Music, which was held on February 12, 1924, in Aeolian Hall, New York, by Whiteman and his band with Gershwin playing the piano.
The editors of the Cambridge Music Handbooks opined that "The Rhapsody in Blue (1924) established Gershwin's reputation as a serious composer and has since become one of the most popular of all American concert works."

"She's Always a Woman" is a song from Billy Joel's 1977 album The Stranger. It is a love song about a modern woman, with whom he falls in love for her quirks as well as her flaws. The single peaked at #17 in the U.S. in 1977, and at #53 in the UK in 1986, when it was released as a double A-side with "Just the Way You Are". It re-entered the UK chart in 2010, reaching #29.

From the Broadway Musical, Sweet Charity.
Sweet Charity is a musical with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Dorothy Fields and book by Neil Simon. It was directed and choreographed for Broadway by Bob Fosse starring his wife and muse Gwen Verdon alongside John McMartin. It is based on Federico Fellini's screenplay for Nights of Cabiria. However, where Fellini's black-and-white Italian film concerns the romantic ups-and-downs of an ever-hopeful sex worker, in the musical the central character is a dancer-for-hire at a Times Square dance hall. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1966, where it was nominated for 9 Tony Awards, and also ran in the West End as well as having revivals and international productions.
The musical was adapted for the screen in 1969 with Shirley MacLaine as Charity and John McMartin recreating his Broadway role as Oscar Lindquist. Bob Fosse directed and choreographed this film.
