	You're a Heavenly Thing I love the subtle swing. Great solo. The bends give that solo a hint of steel guitar. Great vocal! Check out my latest song called Just Ain't Worth a Song (2 Track)

	You're a Heavenly Thing These old classics you post have a very strong structure. I also get the sense that melody was more important back then then it is now. This song is no exception. Another great vocal, and I dug the guitar work. Check out my latest song called Llarions Blues

	A bang up job... Hi Michael. Like many others it seems, I don't think I am familiar with this song. As usual though, it didn't matter. You did a bang up job. Your vocals and phrasing are assured and uniquely MJK, as always. Thanks for the posting. Take care, Peter. Check out my latest song called Autumn Falling

Thanks very much Peter!
I toiled with this off and on for perhaps a week and Saturday morning, I just sat and did it and I guess I'm fairly satisfied with most of it--and that was in one take--quite remarkable for me. Then again, in the past, I've messed around with these things over a period of time and then one day, all the ideas and stuff just come together almost at once. Much obliged and great to hear from you--you take good care now! Michael

Hey Bob!
I first heard this song when Mel Torme sang it when he was here in town with jazz pianist George Shearing. I remember there was about 4 seconds of silence before the applause came in--it was one of "those" kinds of performances; very memorable. Thanks for listening and thanks also for leaving some most encouraging words on this deal! You take care now--Michael

	Kickbal I don't consider anybody a hack, regardless of what genre they work in as long as they are giving their best or near best (and in my line, I'm not that far removed from being a hack myself--this I know!)
