Where or When-sday — Rogers & Hart

It’s deja vu all over again! Which BTW is appropriate since that’s what this song is really all about! Someone was telling me the other day how much they enjoyed the Errol Garner video of this song that I posted back in December here, particularly since he had never heard of Errol before.

I was going to post another by him — and I definitely will later — but when I was revisiting the video, I noticed that I completely forgot to mention that the song was originally from the Rogers & Hart 1937 musical comedy Babes in Arms

OBG League – Standings Weeks #10 & 11

Looks like Ron Boyle’s team is still way out in front with 113 points. Teams with captains Jerry Keating, Zeb Riggs, and Roger Wright are battling it out for 2nd place.  Bill is still out of commission and has not updated his website with the latest scores the past couple of weeks.

I put them in a spreadsheet here.  Bill will post them on his website when he returns  NOTE: Next Wednesday is the last week of this session so let me know if you are not playing in the upcoming one.  Also, if anyone new is interested in playing the next session, I need to know by next Wednesday to put the draft together.

Smooth Jazz Sunday

(From 9/16/2019). Well…technically not Smooth Jazz but more in the genre of Jazz Fusion.  I can’t believe I haven’t posted any Pat Metheny up here yet since he is probably the artist whose concerts I’ve paid to see the most times.  Fair Warning: You’ll definitely be seeing more of his stuff later but as a starter let’s go with “Last Train Home”.  It’s another one of those songs that are on every one of my USB music sticks and playlists.
