I can't do that. My doctor says drink whiskey an hour before bedtime. I can't do that. I gave up after 45 minutes" Champagne Charlie, Harvest Moon, I've Been Working on the Railroad I Ain't Got Nobody, tunes from Ain't Misbehaving. Short set, great stylist. QUESTION - Leon's combo included a great Trumpet Player (with 1/2 dozen different mutes) + keyboards. Great balance of tone for this style of Tin Pan Alley, rags. Is there a precedent here? JOHN PRINE - Hey Dubya - "You're Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore" Love this guy. He played almost 2 hours I think. 'Nuff said. voyager |
