Over the years we assembled a pretty representative collection of songs from the thirties and forties. It’s a little out of character for folk musicians but we like these tunes! Standards |

New York New York
It took a while to learn to do this one right. A lot of time was spent listening to King Frank! Naturally we’re backed up by the Cakewalk Pops Orchestra on this album!
My Way
Another one stolen from Frank.
Satin Doll
Oh, alright… we love listening to The Savoy Express… runnin’ down track number four on XM Radio. We wish we were on XM Radio! Wasn’t it great when people could get away with singing like those guys did in the 40’s?
Beyond The Sea
We asked Bobby Darin if we could borrow this song… well, actually we left a message on his answering machine. We were pretty sure he’d say ok even though he knows what a threat we are. He hasn’t gotten back to us yet but we’re certain he won’t mind… so here it is.
Hello Dolly
This is the song from the Broadway play of the same name. Cakewalk Theatre Band backs us.
Mack The Knife
Kurt Weil… Bobby Darin… whatta pair! A supposedly “based on the truth” song about a serial killer. Oh the line forms on the right, babe!
My Heart
We included this song because Wendy likes it. Although not written during the period from which standards originate this is a beautiful song. It was used as the theme music from the most recent Titanic movie.
In The Mood
A Glenn Miller classic and one of the most popular dance numbers we do. This song is timeless… and one heck of a lot of fun. Our hats are off to the Cakewalk Boys. An a one an a two an a…
Pennies From Heaven
This song is just simply nice. Nylon string Taylor and Lonnie.
Memory
From the Broadway musical Cats. Not easy to sing, either!
Misty
OK play Misty for me.
Pennsylvania 6 5000
A very popular standard.
Strangers In The Night
This song is another one done by Frank Sinatra. However this is our version. It has to be… Frank was not available.
Tuxedo Junction
We listen to this one on XM radio too. The folks in The orchestra truly gave their all on this number.
Unforgettable
We really liked Nat “King” Cole. He had such a great voice. This piece is very pretty. Unforgettable... that's what you are!
