Noel:Thanks for the kind words and reference to the great Cole Porter. You're too kind.

Dani: Thanks so much and am humbled by the Burt Bacharach reference.

Alan & Di: I've always liked jazz. It was only after hearing and then delving into Patricia Barber's music did I really see how jazz music can have lyrical play, not just 'jazz' musicality. But, I've always tried to write music that I can perform live. Since I'm primarily a guitar player who is playing solo now as opposed to playing in bands, I usually don't write band based jazz. However, I've relaxed that 'rule' and now have written many tunes that aren't playable live, per se. While I incorporate elements of jazz and blues in many of my tunes, ( This tune is a scat-esque style, and this one has the loungesque feel) "You Were Never Mine" and another tune (which I'll post soon) are the only two tunes that I used BIAB for and are more overtly jazzy. I do enjoy writing in this genre, so I will be writing more. I'm taking your words as a confirmation of sorts. smile

MarioD: Thanks for the kudos!!
