In my head, I can hear my father blasting this song in the living room of our Etobicoke (suburban Toronto) house...by Little Jimmy Rushing on Mr. 5X5, singing along, drinking brandy, telling lies about another time. He seriously loved that record.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite version is still Hoagy Carmichael with Lauren Bacall, from "To have and have not". I fell in love with that film as a kid. I actually have a recording somewhere of myself singing that and playing the tenor guitar, with a friend on piano...probably fueled by something much stronger than brandy, as I recall(barely) >:0
