Morning Sing: May 8, 2020
Good morning!
Continuing through a journey of my earliest musical influences…In the photo accompanying this, you can see my grandfather stamped his name on the front of the sheet music, Theodore Sprague Day, and the date he purchased the music (March 2, 1949). He was so organized!

In the video, I say that I grew up singing this song, and I thought that I’d heard The Manhattan Transfer perform this, but I can’t find a recording of them singing it to reference. I clearly mis-remembered. So, instead I’ll reference the original recording (as noted on the front of the sheet music): Featured by Johnny Mercer, with Paul Weston and Orchestra and the Pied Pipers
