 Changes to Darn That Dream same as another song? I was telling my GF about how the jazz combo I'm in has decided to add "Darn That Dream" to our set list, and sent her a link of Doris Day singing it. She's a singer (excuse me, I mean vocalist) herself and she swears that she knows this song from way back but with different lyrics and a different title. Of course, at the advanced age of 44, she doesn't recall what.  Anyone have any idea what other song she might be thinking of? (This one is new to me.)    |

| Nah, she's just having a moment, like last week when I was asked to figure out who my buddies 6 month old looked like, and I said "bobby darin." Turns out he was asking me if the kid looked more like him or his wife. Last edited by mr. beaumont : 10-18-2010 at 05:41 PM. |

| LOL, I figured as much. Thanks for the info. PS really enjoy your playing on this tune on your site. Is that your own arrangement? I just got the Barry Galbraith CM book in the mail, and it's got this tune in it. I'll start checking it out tonight. |

| Thanks, brother--yeah, everything on my site is my own arrangement. I'm much more proud of my arranging ability than my playing on many of them! |

 Develop your ear would like to see comments on developing your ear especially when playing gigs without the benefit of charts which is a common occurrence. example...you start on a tune and when you get to the bridge...do you know the key center or are you fumbling and therefore embarrassed? |

| So I was talking about this last night with the GF, and she claims that she has a Herb Alpert disc somewhere that has this tune on it. Same chords, same melody even, just different lyrics. (Yeah, I know - Herb Alpert, lyrics?) So we agreed that I was obviously wrong, and clearly so were my friends on the forums, even though she can't seem to produce the recording quite yet. :-) |
