4/10/07 rehearsal recording in LA. Trying out some new repertoire... well, new for me. This adorably sweet little song was written in 1928. I decided not to put any kind of modern spin on it, but to just sing it slow and straight. (Guitar by the always adorable Barry Zweig.)

BTW, I'm officially calling this set of recordings (I'll post more) "The Smoke Alarm Sessions." You may hear a little beep once in a while in the background... that's cuz Barry REALLY needs to change the battery in his apartment's smoke alarm.

Charming, as usual. I love these straightforward renditions that you do and I gotta give you a thumbs up for posting this take with the "climb a burning desert...oops...climb a burning desert?" in. I love it.

Can't get enough of your singin', hope you don't get tired of posting.

Thanks. :)

Audiences rarely catch a lyric flub so I never say "oops" or point it out when I screw up onstage, but during these rehearsals we're just hanging out & having fun so I'm not trying to be perfect. It entertained me when I heard myself sing it.

Simon Cowel: "Ah, that was loverly dear, but you forgot the lyrics."

You: "It's rehearsal jackass!"

miss lynnster, this is just great stuff! This is going to be some awesome ammo for the next time I have a baby sitter and get some quiet time with my girl. Whoo hoo, sweet! (Thanks:)

I've been soured on music with human voices lately. This track changed my mind.

"Mighty ocean wide"

The way you say wide, is so Ella Fitzgerald.

Ahhh. Perfect Saturday morning music. Great great great!

And your website is cool, except of course auto-playing music drives me crazy.

Glad you liked it. And for future ref, if you look on the bottom right of my webpage you'll see where it says "This music bugs me. Turn it off." Click there. Craziness solved! :)
