Katie Laur andI wrote the song in one evening andrecorded it a week or two later for that albumwith me on piano accompanying her vocal.Katie's a local country/folk/bluegrass singerwho was singing swing standards at thattime. Although she's still around town so I'mtold, I haven't seen her in years although weworked together regularly thoughout the1980's thru the mid-90's. She wrote most ofthe lyrics and I wrote the music.
