Oh, Look at Me Now!

Somebody asked me (thank you Dimm!) where I've been lately! Well, work is always sucking up my time in a Dracula-like fashion, but on the positive side, I done bought me a ukulele and have been teaching myself how to play it (this may take a while, let me tell you, but in a year from now, I expect to be another Don Ho--or even Don's brother, Don Hoo Hee). If any of you play the uke, PLEASE tell me that eventually I'll be able to pull off those physically impossible seeming chord fingerings!

I had time to crank out a tune tonight, and this is a song my piano teacher taught me when I was maybe 12. I recall how "adult" I felt playing and singing this--a real "grown-up" song. And I still remember the great advice she gave me: "Now Michael, you are just too young to really know what the hell you're singing about here, but just make believe that you do." This was very sound advice, although I didn't realize it at the time. The music here was written by the great jazz pianist, Joe Bushkin.

Thanks again good care now,

Michael
