O.K., how about a little game?
Quote some lyrics leading up to the tune's title, you 'name that tune'...
Here's one to start:

'Man, it's better than chicken fried in bacon grease,
come along with me, boy, it's just.................................'

If you get it, post another clue.

Sorry to have disappeared for a few days. Maybe you should give it another go, bopper. I really don't know any lyrics off the top of my head. (I don't really listen to vocals, only instrumentals.)

Ain't goin' no where
Just sittin' here grabbin
At the flies round my old..........'

O.K., guess we'll have to get a little tougher.
Try this one:

"Your face beams in my dreams
'Spite of all I do,
Everything seems to bring
'...........................' "

I was away for a week, and it bothered me the whole time that I couldn't place this.......I thought it might be Teagarden, but when I got home and checkd my Ellington library I found......"What am I here for?"

"I've Heard That Song Before"

For me always a Harry James classic. The mind is the first thing to go and I'm not going to go look, but wasn't it Kitty Kallen on the vocal with Harry?

Joe

I know each word because I've heard that song before,
I know it well, that melody,
It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream,
A dream that brought me so close to you...

Wow, what a voice.

"Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say "Why not?"

Robert F. Kennedy
(paraphrasing George Bernard Shaw)

"Men who are minds dream; men who are bodies sleep soundly."
"A shallow mind is a sin against God...a man who does not struggle is a fool."
