Thank you very much.
Once again, good evening.
Thanks so much for being here with us.
We are gonna have a wonderful time, and I've been having a great time with this music.
It has been absolutely remarkable making all kinds of discoveries about Dad and his songs and how he acquired some of those songs, like this next one.
It was a surprise to find out that it was written by the same gentleman who wrote "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for Miss Judy Garland.
And his name was Mr. Harold Arlen.

That's how credible my dad was.
I believed everything that he said, everything that he sang.
I had great plans to meet this lady one day.
You can imagine how disappointed I was to find out she was only a painting.
But you know what?
I had a chance to see that painting.
And I got to tell you, there is something very real about that lady.
Something very real behind those eyes... [ Applause ] ...and behind that smile.

My father got this next song in a very interesting way.
A young man by the name of Billy Strayhorn gave this song to my dad.
And if you recognize the name, it's because Billy later went on to become one of Duke Ellington's finest arrangers.
But when Dad got this song, he put it on the piano and just kind of kept it there for a while, and... when he finally decided to pick it up, he was amazed at what he saw.
There was a very haunting melody there, and the lyrics were very, very sophisticated, especially when you consider the fact that at the time that Billy wrote this song, he was only 16 years old.
Kind of makes you wonder where his head was at.

It was a surprise to me to discover that there are quite a lot of songs that Dad did write.
And I was discovering one.
I really like this one.
