Jim Dixon	Lyr Add: Songs about New Orleans (76* d)	Lyr Add: MIDNIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS	13 Feb 14
MIDNIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS Words, Walter Melrose; music, Earl Hines. As recorded by Earl "Fatha" Hines and Orchestra with Johnny Hartman, vocalist, 1947. When it's midnight down in New Orleans, Those hep-cat bands are jivin' fiends. Round ev'ry corner there's music in the air. They can play those blues better than they play them anywhere. When it's midnight down in New Orleans, I sit right there in all of my dreams. The syncopation invigorates my soul. When they play the blues, Basin Street begins to rock 'n' roll. - - - From Wikipedia: "Melrose added lyrics to many existing jazz compositions in order to claim a songwriting royalty, although these are rarely performed today due to their amateurish nature."
