L'homage... Chesney Baker...yeah!

"My funny Valentine, Sweet comic valentine. You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable, yet your my favorite work of
art. Is your figure less than Greek?, is your mouth a little weak? When you oprn
it to speak, are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me. Stay little
Valentine, stay. Each day is valentine's day."

That is my all time favourite song and it has to be sung by Chet Baker. He was a wild, wild, fabulous man, but crazy. I visited the hotel in Amsterdam where he was found out on the pavement after falling to his death from a top window. I sang the words real quiet in homage. He hated Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan and Miles Davis. He loved Charlie 'Bird' Parker. He is more famous for his playing the horn than this song but for me that song is him. Rest in peace Chet, "Look for the silver lining".........
