Description

Written by Harry (Akst No Questions) Akst and Joe Young (not the giant gorilla) in 1924 (PD). I had the great pleasure of working on this particular song with the astonishing Ibstrat (and a bit later, the equally astonishing Scofugate joined in) some months ago and thought I'd come back and ruin it all on my own this time!

Thanks again,

Michael

	Hoorah, hooray! A new tune from the great Michael Jay. We've been missing your dulcet tones lately, but I understand you may have had some medical problems. I do hope you are feeling better and, if this is any indication, you are. Boo-bop-a-doop! Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	Dinah Your ability to hit notes effortlessly (or so it seems) on all points of the scale is a delight to listen to! As is often the case, the humour you add to a song always makes it even more entertaining. Excellent performance!

	RUOK? Hey Michael, hope things are OK in your world and that your health is good (now?). Always a pleasure to have a new post from you and following on from the wonderful Ibstrat collab, this is just as welcome. Your vocal linguistics are a treat and the humour shines through as always. The backer creates the right mood, too. Take care, Peter. Check out my latest song called Autumn Falling

A Great Vocalist and Entertaner you are.
I am always amazed at the sound your voice produces. I swear you should be in Vegas making big bucks entertaining cats like me. In fact after listening to this I have a longing for Vegas. I guess you're going to make me spend some money my friend and have fun doing it. Fantastic Piece with as always a Magical Production.

	Dinah You had me with the opening but when the tempo picked up you blew me away. Your sense of style for these songs comes from an earlier era - it's hard to imagine people these days picking up on the nuances let along being able to sing them authentically. What a treasure you are to have around MJ! Brilliant Michael. Doug Check out my latest song called The Asteroid [Doom2012]
