Beautiful! Merry Christmas, Kitty LaRoar!

..fantastic I think I'll just stay right here, forever.

Kitty LaRoar sings with Nick Shankland at the wurlitzer electric piano.
The apparent simplicity of this 1949 Young/Washington tune lends itself well to improvisation, becoming a quite popular vehicle amongst jazzers.
The Wurlitzer EP200 played by Nick lives at Cowshed Studio where this track was recorded the old-fashioned way, all-analogue on 2" magnetic tape.

My Foolish Heart

"This song was written one night in Palm Springs. When I sang the last line, Jule Styne looked over at me and said, 'So. That's it.' I knew he felt we could have written on, but I felt I had said all there was to say, and if I had it to do over, I would stop right there again." - Sammy Cahn.
Kitty LaRoar sings this lovely 1944 song made famous by Chet Baker & Frank Sinatra, with Nick Shankland at the piano.
Recorded all analogue on 2" tape at Cowshed Studio London.

Blame It On My Youth

Chillout and relax to my somewhat brighter version of the wonderful
Nocturne in E-flat Major Opus 9 No2 by Frédéric Chopin
Written in 1830-1832 as part of a trio commonly known as Opus 9 and dedicated to his secret love Madame Camille Pleyel.

GONE

I would love for you to love me
Make me feel like I’m the only thing that matters to you
Tell me that I’m irreplaceable
Tell me that I am yours and yours alone

I would love for you to love me
Just pretend that we are the only two in the room 

Take my hand, baby
Tell me you can’t stand to live without me
'Cause I would love for you to hold me like you’d die without my kiss
But maybe you just don’t see how much of me you’d be miss
-ing if I’m gone

I would love for you to love me
See I’d to anything to make you want me too
‘Cause I would love to let you love me if you only wanted to,
Constant, unconditional, that’s all I’d ask of you

I would love for you to believe me
When I tell you that all really I want is you

Take my hand, baby
Tell me you can’t stand to live without me
I would love for you to hold me like you’d die without my kiss
But maybe you just don’t see how much of me you’d be miss
-ing if I’m gone
