Here's a song I wrote a couple of years back. I think I put it on the Forum, but I don't think I gave any info on it, so I thought I'd put it up again to possibly breathe some life back into it. Broke from my traditional format on this tune and used one of the Midi styles J_Wynt_K Wynton K. (Chord Embellished) Jazz Brushes https://soundcloud.com/carolyne-swayze/the-next-best-thingLyric: The Next Best Thing
Like Mickey and Minnie Just like Mac and Cheese Like chips slathered in dip Like honey and Bees Like hot dogs and mustard Like sugar and cane Like a buggy and whip Like Tarzan and Jane Like nuts and bolts Like a hammer and nails Like Pasa and Dena Like a rainstorm with hail (Second Verse) Just like cake and ice cream and Apple Pie The Next Best Thing that I know is you and I. Like turkey and stuffing Like Ginger and Fred Like a good book read by a fire Apple butter on bread Like hook or by crook Like a clef on a staff Like corned beef and cabbage Like a joke followed by a laugh Just Like Geshundeit right after a sneeze Like that morning cup of coffee Like a Bee and his knees Like an Ace right up my sleeve Like other fish swimming in the sea The Next Best thing that I know is you and me.

Wow, Carolyne! That was AWESOME!
I loved your collection of perfect matches, and the clever rhymes between them! I bet you had a lot of fun sitting with pencil , pad and cup of coffee writing down all your ideas!
I liked the pause between "Tarzan" and "Jane"... in fact, this whole song is the perfect medium for your highly stylish vocals!
I liked that you split Pasadena into two words, then implied they were inseparable... ;-)
That MIDI style is absolutely PERFECT for this song! Very classy and good match for your singing style
Great composition and performance! Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Hi Carolyne,
this was the second song you posted on this
forum. It's enjoyable to listen to it
again. Great fun lyrics and vocals.

Hi Carolyne,
I was sitting here at my computer sipping a glass of shiraz and thought... oh... there's a song from Carolyne... let's listen! Wow... One verse into the song and I can honestly say that Carolyne and a glass of Shiraz are a perfect combo too and a great end of the day.
I really enjoyed this! There are some truly inspired word pairings in these lyrics.
All the best,
Noel

Noel,
Californians appreciate a good Shiraz (although North Americans can’t seem to kick the European pronunciation Syrah). I have had the pleasure, and am convinced that Australia, the Barossa Valley in particular, has grown a marvelous varietal grape. While I’m not sure the Shiraz would appreciate it, a Carolyne and Penfold Shiraz is a next best thing that works for me! Yummmm! Thanks, for the pairing and for listening, Noel.
Peace
-Carolyne

"That's what it ought to sound like"
floyd absolutely summed it up. If you like this
genre like we do then, yep, this is what it
should sound like. This is gonna take
several listens to fully appreciate all of the
cool nuances in the vocal. Take that vocal,
the write and the perfect supporting tracks
and...well, it's what it ought to sound like!
And we are glad it does - great listen

Hello, Carolyne
Very nice vocal and very good song like American great jazz standard songs.
Helen Merrill, Diana Krall and etc.
I have loved jazz vocals since I was young.
And great fun lyrics for me, which I easily understand in spite of my poor English.
I also like Australian Shiraz, Napa Pinot Noir, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but I like better to drink Scotch when I listen to Jazz.
Old Parr with soda and your song are a perfect combo for me.
I really enjoyed this!
Best Regards
Shigeki Adachi

Aaah, scotch and jazz, a great pairing. Thanks for listening. BTW, I am a fan of both Helen Merrill and Diana Krall.
Keep the music playing.
