Nobody’s Sweetheat is an old song composed in 1923 by Gus Kahn, Ernie Erdman, Elmer Schoebel and Billy Meyers. Being bored on a Saturday night, I decided to get the ragtime piano out. I have always played this song and people seem to like it, although I am not sure it is very well known. Thanks to the Pixabay Artists for the great, free graphics.… Read the rest

Magic Trumpet is another happy, fun song. Herb Alpert did a version of it that was very popular. The composer was Bert Kaempfert. Thank You to the talented artist and photographers at Pixaby for the free graphics.

LOL Instead of playing it 3 times as a swing or polka, I decided to mix it up and go from latin to swing to waltz. Keeps a simple song from being boring and more fun for me to play. Hope you enjoy. Thank You to Pixabay and all the talented artists that share their work for free.

I have always loved this song. I thought it was from WWII and I was right, but it was written in the 1930’s. The Germans used it as a theme in their broadcasts to their troops. The Allies also listened. When the British finally got the upper hand, they adopted Lillie Marlene as their song. Great songs.
