Japanese Sandman

Accordion Player Patricia Walter Posted on by

Japanese Sandman. I am in my time travel hat and Mr. Dino and I have traveled back 101 years to 1920 when this song was written by Egan & Whiting. I opened the fake book to this page and it was the first song at the top. Played it once – played it over and over. So pretty, such optimistic lyrics. Just a happy song. No indication about tempo in the fake book. Sounded like a beautiful ballad that you would play at a nice lounge as background music. Wow, was I wrong! It was a really popular song recorded … Read the rest

Dream On Little Dreamer played as COVID MISERIES

Dream On Little Dreamer played as COVID MISERIES. This was written in 1964 by Fred B. Burch & Jan Crutchfield. Perry Como even did a hit recording of it. But the more I played it, the more it just felt like Covid Miseries. You may like it or not, but it pretty well sums up how many people are feeling these days. I apologize to Burch & Crutchfield, but music touches many people in many ways. This is just how I heard and felt it. I had fun with the guitar and harmonica on Mr. Roland.… Read the rest

Please

Please is presented as a Musical Memory from 1932 – Songs I remember hearing and playing when I grew up in the 1940’s and 1950’s. I often played out of the two old Black Fake Books my Mom bought. I thought I would share some of those wonderful songs of the past. Beautiful songs with rich chords, melodies, rhythms and wonderful words. How so many wonderful songs have been born from those 7 white keys and 5 black keys is a true miracle of music to me. The number of song choices is in the thousands. I hope you enjoy … Read the rest

All I Want for Christmas is a Great Big Hug, Say Goodbye to the Covid Bug. Something different. Sitting at lunch thinking about what Christmas song I could do and started humming this when all of a sudden new words were found! A Parady on All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth! It was fun to do. Don Gardner did the words and Music in 1946 to the original song. He might not be happy with my version, but then again, he isn’t living thru the Covid age.… Read the rest
