I don’t think a week has gone by when I haven’t played songs with lyrics by Larry Hart or Cole Porter or the Bergmans, or Ira Gershwin – until this week! I’m gave all those guys the night off and instead, focussed on lyricists whose songs we know – but their names… not so much. I spent the evening singing the praises of such talented lyricists as Bob Russell, Caroll Coates, Bob Haymes, Peggy Lee, Ed Hayman, and others. Well, fortunately for my audience, I let other, more qualified people do the singing.
