These next three tunes are from a Jerome Kern Songbook:

At this point

I return to the Reader's Digest Family Songbook for a final Cole Porter tune.

At the end...

I always try to improvise a little something. It's easier than sight-reading and it makes for a change. The brevity and sloppiness of this one I take as a sign that I had given my all during the preceding pieces and was on my last legs (or fingers, if you like).

A Happy Return

After more than a month away, due to fatigue, I was pleased to have recorded something I could take a little pride in. This was important to me, since the inclination to pack it in was foremost in my mind. I am now ready to continue next Monday.

Note:

At the end of this blog I mention expectations about next week - well next week was here this morning and it was quite a lot less than I'd hoped for. However, never say die and all that. I'll try again next monday.
