Very enjoyable, Kay. Nice smooth style. Did your son create the strings for the rhythm track? I'm not familar with the tune, but it reminds me of some of Jerry Byrd's stuff with strings.

Kay,
That was a very enjoyable performance of Paradise, and one of my favorites. I liked that special ending also. 
My bags are packed and we leave in the early morning for the HSGA convention in Hawaii. See you in Waikiki, Kay.
Aloha, 
Don |

Grateful for the appreciation. This lovely tune was composed in 1931 by Gordon Clifford and Nacio Herb Brown, who was also famous for "Singin' in the Rain" and "Temptation". It was first composed as a music add-on for a silent movie. The tune was a hit for Bing Crosby who crooned his way through it, tastefully I must hasten to add, and you can find a version of it in the iTunes store. The string arrangements in my recording are by Tom Hartman of MMO. It is in the key of G.
Kay
PS: Don, looking forward to seeing you again in Waikiki,
