Ha, recent versions of that album have some false starts of “Comes Love,” one of which prompts the words “Jesus, Barney!”

Wonder if we keep doing this we will get to the standard first song by Jane Birkin’s mother, but maybe it’s not popular enough.

Re; Baretta I remember the parrot and Robert Blake’s t-shirt. I’m sure I watched the show but it’s buried deep in my subconscious… I don’t think it’s been widely rerun, at least not lately

One fun thing about reviewing these tunes in this context is to have an excuse to listen to great singers- along with some other singers I guess - and see what they do with them. I know there are two schools of thought for instrumentalists: some say it is important to listen to singers and learn the lyrics or at least a subset of them in order to get the proper phrasing whilst others say “you mean that song has words?!”

Yes. I know a certain music teacher who is brilliant as an instrumentalist but whenever I try to talk about the meaning behind the lyric of a song, or the emotional intention of the vocalist, he falls silent or says “I never listen to lyrics”

Found a thread about that topic on another borad, don’t know if I should link it.

Sorry, meant to say “That tune has words!?”

Anyway, would be happy to participate in further iterations and may start some myself if inspired.

I just was reminded that there is something known as the “Cry Me a River” lick but I never remember what it is.

It's the first six descending notes of the vocal melody ("Now you say you're lone-ly")

Someone around here has been learning "Moonlight in Vermont" and it is sounding pretty good.

On the piano. She also wants a bigger midi controller than the one she has, maybe that's for another thread.

Sam Cooke was never mentioned on this thread.
