I love this Gershwin song, probably not unfamiliar but if some have not heard The Boxer its worth posting.

Someone To watch Over Me.
Its been recorded by many but I think my favorite is Ella Fitzgerald.

A terrific song.......

My wife has done some off-Broadway in her day, and she does a version of that song that will absolutely blow your socks off.

Believe me, I'd love to....If I can ever get it set up.!!

FWIW, I'm what some would call a musical 'snob'. Started playing a trumpet when I was 5 and was dialed into what folks call "Classical Music" at that young age. Was blessed with perfect pitch but cursed with not enough talent to play at the level that I wanted to.

My wife Annie set aside her stage aspirations as she wanted more than anything else to have children.

I had three boys when we married....and we had a daughter (Nikki, now 17) who is everything any parent could ever want in their child.

Annie is a bit rusty, but still has a great set of pipes, and I've watched her floor numbers of my friends over the years who didn't know that she performed when she would step up on stage at a club and reel a few off numbers.

There used to be a few piano bars in Boston where you could do that (they've now gone the way of the carrier pigeon). The pianists were very particular whom they would let up on stage and sing with them. She was alway welcome there, and well known amongst those who frequented them.

The problem with doing a You Tube is trying to get the back-up musicians so that she could do a good representative set.

But, y'know what? I'd never thought of it but you've spurred me on, and when she gets home in a bit, I'm going to ask her what she thinks of the idea.

I thank you for nudging me..........

You are welcome. I will be curious to know what her reaction is and if this progresses it to something. I will keep my fingers crossed.

As promised......I spoke to Annie abut this thread and the idea that came out of it last night.

She was surprisingly reflective about it, and my sense a bit reticent, as she was concerned about the whole "You Tube" phenomena that's going on right now.

I'll work on in further.....

I am incredibly jealous of anyone who discovers these for the first time..... I wish I could, again, and again.

Great song I haven't heard! I heard of Gov't Mule on XM radio, I like them a lot.

True dat. Houses of the Holy came out when I was in 6th or 7th grade and all my friends were listening to Kiss. The Rain Song is still my favorite track from that album.
