It's past 10 p.m. here, and I've just finished this one. I will now go to bed, and, tomorrow, I will listen to the songs others have been posting whilst I've been busy writing - I promise :-) But ... I thought I'd post this one up before I go to bed ...

It's an homage to silent movie (Charlie Chaplin, foremost) and other such actors (including the modern-day Roberto Benigni, for example), and to dancers such as Fred Astaire, etc. A bygone era that I very much love. Hope you enjoy the song - thank you so much for listening, all feedback welcome!

James,

This does have the flavor of an old movie.
I like the vocal.

OH, excellent!! James is singing ---HAPPILY! I love the entertainment from back then, and you capture the feeling so well. Man, do more of these. You know I really enjoy your "speaking" songs, and it's so nice to hear some this different occasionally. You have a really good voice.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Happy and a great idea.

The old movie vibe is well captured with all aspects of the production.

And we are indeed scat fans!

And the very mention of Fred will have Janice on board smile She's a huge fan.

Most cool!

James, you nailed this one

Super vocal and grove

A great mix

I really enjoyed this one.

Marty: thank you! Yep, finally a happy song from me, after a while ;-)

Vic: thanks!

David: thank you!

Tunemonger: thanks! I didn't think of scat per se when I recorded this, but yes, it is kinda scatty, right? :-)

Scott: thanks!

Janice, Bud: thank you! Fred Astaire was indeed extraordinary. I was envisaging him and Ginger Rogers, for example, dancing with him when I wrote this one :-) One can indeed dream of the ideal dance couple dancing this one out, right? :-)

Mario: thank you!!! Very kind!

PG MUSIC: THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!
