thanks, good to be back; Fats really did this tune justice, too; it all comes back to me now; by the way, i heard on the radio that Dylan will be releasing a batch of Christmas songs soon, to be down-loadable through Citibank's website; things have changed; can just hear Bob warbling "chestnuts roasting on an open fire"; another sign of the impending Apocalypse.
Gale Storm ----- vavoom is right…….. and The Prisoner YouTube clip was great……………… sure glad you didn’t retire from blogging.

i love the dress she's wearing, and the silhouette on the wall; what rock band covered this? Gale's version is way better; swing trumps rock any day.
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back, Nelson.
