Song #49: "So In Love" written by Cole Porter

I don't care who sings "So In Love," as long as it is pointed out that it is written by the magnificent Cole Porter.  If you've not seen the movie about his live, 'DeLovely,' I highly recommend it.  Kevin Cline plays Cole in such an honorable way.  I started to love this song because of that movie.  Hope you check it out!

Song #48: "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin

Yesterday my friend was going to the symphony which got me thinking of who I'd like to go hear played at the symphony.  Well my favorite piece is "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin, so it's my song of the day.  I've always love the great songbook composers like George Gershwin, Cole Porter & Irving Berlin, but Gershwin has always been my favorite.  This song reminds me of the feeling of being in New York City.  It's just a beautiful piece.  Hope you enjoy it too...happy Saturday!

Song #47 "Let's Try Goodbye" by Amy Dalley

One of the things that really irks me about the music industry is that there are some of the most talented people in this city are not the ones who are the household names.  It's likely that if you don't live in this town the general public may never hear of them.  It's really heartbreaking because not only are they they uber-talented, but they are incredibly hardworking.  So, tonight I've chosen a song my a good friend (and one of my 4 blog followers), Amy Dalley & the song is "Let's Try Goodbye."  I've always loved this song of hers & she sounds amazing on it.  She's had a few songs out on the radio so some folks may know her music.  If you don't, I urge you to go now & buy her cd!  I have always believed that she was one of the most talented female writers in this town.  Anyway, I'll shut up and let her music speak for it's self!

Song #46 "When The Saints Go Marching In" by Louis Prima

Happy Mardi Gras y'all!!!  In honor of Fat Tuesday & New Orleans, I'm picking "When The Saints Go Marching In" by Louis Prima (a Nola native).  I miss celebrating Mardi Gras since moving to Nashville.  I did manage to bring a King Cake to the office today.  Love it! Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!

Song #45: "Where The Boat Leaves From" by Zac Brown Band

I'm choosing "Where The Boat Leaves From" by Zac Brown Band today because it makes me think of the beach.  This little cold snap makes me want to be on a beach and I'm not, so I can at least dream of it.
Happy Monday!

Song #44: "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel

Little known fact...I know about 80% of the lyrics to "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel.  I love this song so much.  "JFK blown away, what else do I have to say?!"
