FYI, Andy---I know nothing about Gogi Grant except for her association with your song which I dig (well, I lie---I just wiki'd her so i know more now than I did before).
Overproduced, corny and sung with a vibrato reminiscent of a bad steeler with nerve problems, Wayward Wind still works for me. Actually I've got the mp3 right here so if you send me an email I can shoot you your birthright song.
Doggy in the Window, eh? That's absurd.
Gotta go take my worm pills. |

Jon, there's all the Wayward Wind I can handle on YouTube ... by the young and comely Gogi and the nearly 80 year-old Gogi. That vibrato is annoying - though it doesn't come near my two all-time most painful vibrato prize winners: Joan Baez & Buffy Saint Marie. Listening to them makes my fillings ache and the dog start to whine. Nice Gogi photo though.

Bei Mir Bist du Schöen. I can't understand it and I can't pronounce it. That's why I've never understood any thing since.  |

Well I am MORE flat footed that y'all...
1956 ... "Lisbon Antigua" by Nelson Riddle
Granted Nelson later arranged the great stuff for Sinatra.
But I would NEVER have guessed this one in a MILLION years.
Seems to have been well before the Route 66 theme.
Bei Mir Bist du Schöen, played it many, many times.
Fun tune you really can swing the thing nicely.
I used to play in a band with the son of a Harmicat.
I was of course the harminica player.
So I got some lessons from the father,
and played those big harmonica wheels of theirs.
Son was a definite ne'erdowell.
Father was cool and pro.

"Mr Sandman", which is funny because when I was a kid, we had player piano, and a piano roll of that tune which I used to "play" all the time.
(even back then I was into pedals  ) I also have recorded an uptempo jazz guitar version of that tune. |
