#33: On The Sunny Side Of The Street

This is humiliating. Not only did I upload the wrong song, but NOBODY NOTICED! Come on, people!

#33: On The Sunny Side Of The Street

This song makes me think about eggs.

EDIT: THIS IS ACTUALLY "PENNIES FROM HEAVEN".  SORRY, I'M TAKING IT DOWN.

#32: On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)

For some reason I have it in my head that Colleen knows this song. Is this true?

#31: Summertime

So, I took a whole week off with the inauguration and a grad school interview. Hope you're still listening!

"Summertime" is certainly my most popular song. I play it almost every day, and get compliments every time. On multiple occasions customers have booked me for a party immediately upon hearing this. Yet my arrangement is exactly the sort of treatment that my own mother often rails against: she believes the song must be played as a lullaby. What do you think?

#30: Eighty-One

Here's a Miles Davis Quintet number that ought to get played more. Go buy "E.S.P." today.

Is it poor blogging etiquette to change the post date and time so I can continue to pretend I'm putting up a new song each day?

#28: Just A-Sittin' And A-Rockin'

Sorry I fell a little behind this week. This is one of my favorite Duke Ellington tunes. I learned it from Art Tatum.
