A Little Music, Please

Remember “Where or When” sung by Peggy Lee? Or Dion and the Belmonts?  Great lyrics. You can google "Where or When."

What about “Bye Bye Blackbird”? Few songs have been covered more often, everyone from Ringo Starr to Etta James to John Coltrane. The version I bring up on my computer is by Joe Cocker. Watch the backup singers. 

There’s been a lot of speculation about what the song is about. The one that makes the most sense is straight-forward. Someone in the city is fed up, so he or she is headed out and going home. 


If you like guitar you might google “Sharon Isbin - Asturias.”
