... I really don't know what it means.
I am sitting here watching one of the legends of the early punk-rock movement (Sting) singing "My Funny Valentine". I fell in love with what are referred to as 'standards' when I was a kid. My dad would play Armstrong and Duke and Basie. One of my favorite albums even today is Keely Smith and Louis Prima live in Vegas... damn that was, errr... is, great music.
Seems like lots of folks are rediscovering the classic music with melody and nuance and passion. Now I am watching Paula Cole sing "Look of Love". Wow... great job of it too.
Seems like the older music may still last longer than some of the more 'pop' stuff. And maybe not. Who knows? All I can say is play a little Sinatra, Martin or Davis Jr., and I am listening.
Gotta go... there is a 15 year old girl belting "Pennies from Heaven" - this I gotta hear.
