SONG
SAMPLES
1. Time After Time. This love song gets a warm treatment by Ron Davis...an exciting up-tempo arrangement by Don Schamber with solos by Dick Wooley and Joe Trzcinski.
2. What Are You Doing New Years? A plaintive rendition by Betsy Guy of one of her favorites.
3. Blue Skies. Bob McKee gives a "seminar" for aspiring big band drummers on this drum feature arranged by Dick Wooley.
4. Over The Rainbow. Judy Garland may have made this song a major hit, but Ruth Griebel makes it every bit as touching and plaintive.
5. The Way You Look Tonight. an easy version of this love song by the ever swinging Larry Patch.
Note: All arrangements for this CD are by Dick Wooley except Time After Time, and I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself A Letter.
