Song of the Day: Tuesday

This is the second day of a slow work week. I've been a bit moody and making nouveau riche plans in my head.

For some reason this song's been in my head. Not the entirety of it! Just the line "Excuse me while I disappear!" I could hear Miss Ella singing it, but I couldn't remember which song it was.

I love her voice. She's totally unable to sound sad while she sings. She can present emotion, but not the down in the dumps, my-man-done-left-me sadness. But, she's such an effortless technician of the craft. I think that's why I love her so much. That, and she's so beautiful and comfortable in her own skin.

Song of the Day: Friday

On the way home tonight I was listening to the 80s station.  This song came on, reminding me of my teenaged years. Alex from "Family Ties' falling in love. I think it was even in "Roadhouse." Luckily the song survived being in such a crappy movie.
