"One For My Baby & One More For The Road" by 'ole blue eyes' is just such a great classic standard. I only learned today that Johnny Mercer co-wrote it. He's becoming one of my fav songwriters.

Song #51: "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohen
Today I heard a great brand new song about Memphis, which made me think of another great song about Memphis, "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohen. I have ALWAYS loved this song (except the Lonestar cover of it). Growing up, I traveled to Memphis quite a bit, so I will always have a special place in my heart for this town. I think that this song & video both are a great tribute to it. Aaahh...memories.

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 #30 - King Of The Road by Roger Miller
I think Roger Miller is such a great songwriter. I bought a CD of his greatest hits a few years ago and I just love it. People don't write songs like that anymore (well, radio wouldn't play them so they don't write 'em and how sad would it be if we never had Roger Miller). King Of The Road is one of my favorites that he did. I love this version from Roger's show with Dean Martin.
