i am lucky that my husband’s job involves listening to music cos it means that we get to see so many fantastic musicians! this week we saw the charismatic monty alexander at ronnie scotts; i am not a big jazz fan, but slowly i am being won over – all my husband’s jazz miso friends are now so busy or away that i have become his new jazz partner. i love seeing musicians in ronnies – such a lovely intimate experience. my favourite song he performed was ‘in the wee small hours of the morning’ – did somewhat make me feel that i have a long way to go with my piano lessons………
“In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning”
In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep,
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep.
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You’d be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That’s the time you miss her most of all.
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You’d be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That’s the time you miss her most of all.
Frank Sinatra
