Having played in a Big Band for the last 30 years, I think your list looks a lot like ours.


I got started in performing the older Pop standards (big band & jazz/pop classics) when Harry Connick Jr hit the scene back in the late 80s. I'm particularly psyched that Norah Jones has garnered a grammys sweep with her album 'Come Away With Me' which includes several terrific classic pop standards: The 'Nearness of You', and 'Cold Cold Heart'. She's not only young (23) & goodlooking, but she's actually a terrific singer and keyboardist as well.

Poor Side of Town is a classic Johnny Rivers tune which always receives a great response from my audiences. I use the Yamaha style: '60's Guitar Pop' with the vocal harmonizer on the chorus.

I do "Something Stupid" because it's just THAT, and doesn't try to be anything else. My audiences like it because they like everything Frankie.

Do you do "Something"?


Yep, I have done a LOT of things, including this classic Beatles tune.
