That's a good idea, but the simple answer to that is....

I haven't done an arranger job in about 4 years now. Remember...that's when I burned out, about 3-4 years ago.

I also don't have the recording equipment.

And I'm also so used to playing the piano now, I'm not as conversant on an arranger as I was when I was playing regularly.

This song is so beautiful. I play it on the piano every day and then listen to the Elvis version in between.

Russ.......it's a great song, but not a lot of people know it. I never played it that much in live performances.

Don.....that song is older than Santa Claus. I even have a version of it sung by Vera Lynn. She was born around 1917 but I think she recorded it around 1950-1960.

I'd actually like to hear some of the members record their own version of it.
