John, you just named one of my favorites tunes, 'What are you doing the rest of my life'. Favorite version - Dusty Springfield (she nailed it). Second favorite, our own Capt Russ. His guitar voicings are to die for and inspired me to try to learn it. I didn't, it was too hard and I couldn't get the same feeling/effect that Russ did so I just gave up. I'll just listen to his . Is it just us old folks that love these old gems or are we the only ones with any taste these days . I'm kidding, of course. Most of the other genre's have the same kind of rich history; we just happen to like and be influenced by this one.

Things I'd like to hear from some members here:

Donny - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Steve - Short piano medley (of his choosing)
Randy - My Funny Valentine (Sax)
DonM - Georgia or Rainy night in Georgia or Always on my mind (or all three )
Russ - Midnight Sun (preferably on vibes but I'm open)
Tony - Any good Jazz standard with a good backbeat (@ 120bpm) (vocal)

There will be no monetary reward for honoring any of these requests .
