I take it JT means 'Michelle' by Paul McCartney?

Speaking of  'some good music', there is a wonderful song by the same name, 
composed by Robert Leo "Bobby" Hackett and recorded by same, with the BH Quartet 
(Dave McKenna, Bob Carter, Dick Scott) in NYC, March 25, 1959.

Also recorded by Warren Vaché with the WV Sextette (Dan Barret, Howard Alden, 
John Harkins, Jack Lesberg, Chuck Riggs) on 'Easy Going' (1967).

It has also wonderful lyrics, by Warren Vaché Sr.
