A fine tune to make Monday better: "Blue Moon" is a popular song written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934 that has become a standard ballad. Early recordings included those by Connee Boswell and by Al Bowlly in 1935. The song was a hit twice in 1949, with successful recordings in the U.S. by Billy Eckstine and Mel Tormé. In 1961, "Blue Moon" became an international number-one hit for the doo-wop group The Marcels, on the Billboard 100 chart and in the UK Singles Chart, and later that same year, an instrumental version by The Ventures charted at No. 54.

“So Far Away” is a song written by Carole King, which appeared on her 1971 album Tapestry. The recording features James Taylor on acoustic guitar. This tune has haunted my mind and heart for years. I finally was able to record a performance that isn't too gosh awful!

Another old favorite tune: WE SHOULD BE TOGETHER (guitar version) From the film "Little Miss Broadway" (1938) A Shirley Temple film. (Walter Bullock / Harold Spina). Hat tip to Dr. Uke:http://www.doctoruke.com/index.html. He made this tune possible for me. I play it better on my guitar but the uke is such a nice touch. I hope you enjoy the tune as much as I do! ;^)-

"DEAR FRIEND" A dark and dismal day. A dark and dismal song. Most of you will have never heard this song. Or even heard of it. So my switching out some lyrics won't bother you. To the rest of the few, I took poetic license. Dear Friend: the song is included on Wild Life, recorded by Sir Paul's post-Beatles band - Paul McCartney And Wings - in 1971. I wish you all well.

I can die now. I finally learned this song....mostly. ;^)- IF by: BREAD " "If" is a song written by American singer-songwriter David Gates in 1971.
