#43: Everything I Love
07/04/2009Is this the first Cole Porter song on Piano Dan? That seems like an oversight.Everything I Love
-
#42: A Ghost Of A Chance
06/04/2009This song title could have used an editor.This was recorded immediately after the fast version of I'm Old Fashioned I posted the other day. You can hear me sort of slow myself down before I settle on a tempo and start the song.(I Don't Stand) A Ghost Of A Chance (With You)

#41: When I Fall In Love
05/04/2009Amy penciled in the words to this song in my fake book back last century, and they have been preserved through countless xeroxes in every binder I've put together over the past five years or so.When I Fall In Love
-
#40: I'm Old Fashioned
05/04/2009This could be my theme song.My blazing fast tempo indicates that this was recorded on a Saturday. Maybe I'll post a "normal" version so you can compare.I'm Old Fashioned

#39: They All Laughed
05/04/2009This tune is one of my favorites, and I haven't been able to find it in any fake book. So I get full arranger credit here.They All Laughed (At Christopher Columbus)

#36: There Will Never Be Another You
01/04/2009Retirement beckons: I'm heading to the University of Chicago for graduate school in financial mathematics! Look for the new website "Mathematician Dan" in which I will post a new differential equation every day. (Just kidding. Sort of.)...Today at Nordstrom, a woman asked me the following question:"Is that canoodling?"She evidently meant this in some musical sense, but I've never heard it used that way. I pretended to think she was asking if I was playing a song called "Canoodling" (though I know of no such song). Altogether an awkward exchange.There Will Never Be Another You

#32: On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)

#31: Summertime
25/01/2009So, I took a whole week off with the inauguration and a grad school interview. Hope you're still listening!"Summertime" is certainly my most popular song. I play it almost every day, and get compliments every time. On multiple occasions customers have booked me for a party immediately upon hearing this. Yet my arrangement is exactly the sort of treatment that my own mother often rails against: she believes the song must be played as a lullaby. What do you think?Summertime

#30: Eighty-One
17/01/2009Here's a Miles Davis Quintet number that ought to get played more. Go buy "E.S.P." today.Is it poor blogging etiquette to change the post date and time so I can continue to pretend I'm putting up a new song each day?Eighty-One
