How About You?

Description

This is an old standard that some people seem to think was written by George Gershwin (probably because his name is mentioned in the lyrics--now ol' George was very egotistical, and rightly so--but I don't think even he'd have gone to that extreme!)

I'm heading on vacation for a week so I thought I'd slap something on the board for now. Thanks so much for listening to this wonderful song by Burton Lane and Ralph Freed.

Take care now,

Michael

Arrangement and accompaniment: Mr. Alan McPike
Vocal: Moms Mabley, Jr.
Artwork: Cartoonist Basil Wolverton's infamous "Lena the Hyena" on the cover of Mad Magazine, circa 1958 (I searched in vain for a good Charles Addams job but they were SO small!)

	How About You? I got to the front door and was turned away as the riff-raff I am because I didn't have the two cents. So I went around to the back alley. The kitchen help let me hang out there and listen. Great song. Those guys on organ and guitar rock. That singing guy's pretty damn good too.

	Fun Backer. Cool organs and panned drum splashes are a treat from Mr McPike. Hmmmm I think this is heading to top of my MJK chart. Your voice is mixed with an extra splash of honey on this one. I like potato chips too (crisps as the queen says) I eat my own bodyweight in prawn cocktail pringles daily.... Yum!!
