Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. 😃

I’m excited to announce that I booked two winter shows! ❄️

Here are the details:

I am SO GRATEFUL each time I have the opportunity to perform! ❤️ I hope you will mark your calendars and can attend! 💙

Let’s check out this week’s song—”Lover, Come Back to Me” by Ella Fitzgerald.

Lyrics:
The sky was blue and high above
The moon was new and so was love
And while this eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, where can you be?
You came at last, love had its day
That day is past, and you’ve gone so far away
And while this eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, come back to me
For I remember every little thing
You used to do
I’m so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
You came at last, love had its day
That day is past, and you’ve gone away
And while this eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, come back to me
You laid some spiel
I thought it was real
You cooled on me
And I’m drugged as can be
And while this eager heart of mine was singing
Cool one, where can you be?
For I remember every little thing
You used to do
I’m so lonely
Every road I walked along
I walked along with you
No wonder I am lonely
You came at last, love had its day
That day is past, and you’ve gone so far away
And while this eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, Oh cool one,
Lover, cool one, where can you be?

Ella Fitzgerald’s voice was absolutely INCREDIBLE! 💜

I had never heard of this song before this week’s post, and I selected this song because I wanted to share a song that featured the late Roy Haynes on drums.

The energy and vibrancy of Ella Fitzgerald’s voice in this song are paired so well with the artistic expression of Roy Haynes.

To really appreciate Roy Haynes’ talent, check out his performance on the Late Show on June 08, 2011.

This performance is so captivating!

You can see Roy Haynes’ passion for music and the energy he creates through his art.

His animated performance is absolutely inspiring! 💛

I hope this clip inspires you to make whatever you are passionate about a part of your life. Not only will that brighten your life, but it will brighten others’ lives as well.

Wishing you well! 🧡
