[Dixielandjazz] This and that

[John Farrell]

This morning for no reason at all my wife said to me, "Remember that age and
treachery will always triumph over youth and ability" (I think that she must
have been reading the problem pages in those women's magazines again). Just
now she said, "If you can keep your head when all around you are losing
theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the
situation". I couldn't let that pass unanswered so I replied, "Is your work
done? Are all pigs fed, watered and ready to fly?" I'll probably have to
cook my own dinner tonight.

In the meantime I've almost completed my latest MIDI - one of Cole Porter's
greatest songs What Is this Thing Called Love (a prime example of a tune
where the verse is every bit as good as the chorus). I'll let you know when
it is on my website, probably tomorrow.
