Isn't It A lovely day?

Printer-friendly version
Tho' things might be frightful
Right here it's delightful
We're cozy and out of the way
And as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
We're posting our stories
And there aren't any worries
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
And everything's okay

Isn't this a lovely day?

Simply Lovely

I can see Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers hiding under the pavillon. It was such a lovely day. More than 40 years ago Lana Cantrell, a lovely Australian singer/entertainer did a very nice version of the song. She made several nice albums.

I remember watching her an old show..The Hollywood Palace and thinking that if I could be her...singing and being just like her. Thanks for the reminder.

She was born for all the wrong reasons
but grew up for all the right ones
Con grande amore e di affetto, Andrea Lena

I don't know which is lovelier, the verse, or the pic.

Instead of Diana Krall, though, I'm hearing Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong making a duet of this. Thank you!

That's a pretty good voice

and Diana Krall's not bad either!

Guess I need to look on Amazon for some albums.

There are times that I wish I played upright string bass instead of guitar bass; this is one of them.

lol. Thank you for making me smile.

And introducing me to two new singers I've never heard before (see, you managed amusing and educational in one go!). It's not my normal style of music but sitting here late in the evening it has that perfect chill out feel before bed.

Kewl!

I do like these 'songs' of yours and I think Diana Krall is great. I must admit I know of Lana Cantrell but don't know her music. But if I'm thinking of the right person she's now a lawyer in Manhattan specialising in performers rights. And hey it was mostly a pretty nice day today too.

Dear Heart...

What a lovely thing to see whilst waiting to truly awaken. Your verse def put a smile on my face. But that's just like you...isn't it. :)
