All night long and into this morning, my JukeBox Brain looped through the tune written by Fred Ahlert/Joe Young, Immortalized by Fats Waller and included in the Broadway musical, Ain’t Misbehavin’, also Frank Sinatra and an infinite list of covers be anyone who sings. The lot in life for a drummer is that the frontman or woman calls the next tune and the drummer’s job is to make the song work. Even if it was written in 1935.

No doubt triggering memories from my past as a working drummer. It is a great classic standard none the less.
