This was recorded immediately after the fast version of I'm Old Fashioned I posted the other day. You can hear me sort of slow myself down before I settle on a tempo and start the song.

#41: When I Fall In Love

April 5, 2009

Amy penciled in the words to this song in my fake book back last century, and they have been preserved through countless xeroxes in every binder I've put together over the past five years or so.

#40: I'm Old Fashioned

April 5, 2009

This could be my theme song.

My blazing fast tempo indicates that this was recorded on a Saturday. Maybe I'll post a "normal" version so you can compare.

#39: They All Laughed

April 4, 2009

This tune is one of my favorites, and I haven't been able to find it in any fake book. So I get full arranger credit here.

#36: There Will Never Be Another You

March 31, 2009

Retirement beckons: I'm heading to the University of Chicago for graduate school in financial mathematics! Look for the new website "Mathematician Dan" in which I will post a new differential equation every day. (Just kidding. Sort of.)

Today at Nordstrom, a woman asked me the following question:

"Is that canoodling?"

She evidently meant this in some ...

#31: Summertime

January 24, 2009

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 ...

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?
