It came as a pleasant surprise to many and was highly praised, if not a big financial success. I liked it.
"More than You Know," performed by Toni Tennille.

Its innovations included using four beats to the bar, rather than the customary waltz-rhythms, as well as everyday language rather than flowery, more operatic language from Europe. Popular music in America would never be the same. This lovely version is by Julie London.

#3GoodThings
...after listening to the #GreatAmericanSongbook at a show and getting into a mood:
1 When you smile, the whole world smiles with you.
2 When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasule, that's amore.
3 And all you Mastodon women - smart, creative with wicked wicked wit - if you were here, we would dance dance dance...all night.

Weekend is just around the corner, so itâs time to wind down, uncork a wine and listen to some #music. For me, it will be the latest addition to my CD collection: #RobbieWilliams âSwing When Youâre Winningâ album. Whatever can be said about Robbie Williams music, I think this album is a must have for every fan of #FrankSinatra and #GreatAmericanSongbook. The only thing I canât understand is that long silence on track 15, but it always can be skipped.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Hoagy Carmichael, composer of some of the best songs in the Great American Songbook. Besides "Stardust," which inspired my latest novel, he wrote "Georgia On My Mind," "Skylark," âThe Nearness Of You,â and "Rockin' Chair."
Today would be the perfect day to begin reading When Stardust Fell on Keuka Lake: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BKS8QWY7
