Happy holidays to you too, Donny. BTW, check out the Ray Charles/Betty Carter version of this tune. Not saying it's better, just different.

So smooth,.. so nice... as only Ray can do it Chas!!...
great version! ....

note:.."Frank Loesser wrote the duet in 1944 and premiered the song with his wife, Lynn Garland, at their Navarro Hotel housewarming party, and performed it toward the end of the evening, signifying to guests that it was nearly time to end the party. Lynn considered it "their song," and was furious when Loesser sold the song to MGM"

Guess I'm gonna'be politically incorrect -

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year eveyone!

Here is a song I just discovered earlier this year that warms my heart. It's "Driving Home for Christmas" by Chris Rea:

+++++ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year +++++

Love Chris Rea. "Fool If You Think It's Over" is in my playlist, and one of my favorites.

Was not familiar with this song. I'm going to learn it and play it tonight.


Thanks, and "best to all" this season!

Good, solid Yorkshire lad Chris Rea's song has been on my list for a few years now. Seems to be one of those tunes that everybody likes.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

This song doesn't have enough chords for you, Russ ...

Tony, a good lesson for "structure snobs" like me. Sometimes "gems" are around that are simple and good.

This certainly is one.

Perfect for the holidays.

All the best, gang.
