Melt musically

It's been rocked, jazzed, countryfied....sammy did it, dino did it, ella, sarah, frankie, babs, and too many more to talk about. But like all great standards it hasn't been done to the maxx until it has been done instrumentally by the monster 'feeler' on the 88 board. Billy uses not only all the black keys on this one he also uses a duel electric piano, and asks, in haunting notes dripping with lost youth, wanderlust and cindered bridges...what are you doing the rest of your life? ........ As a moon-shrouded double dip, we're adding in Ella's masterpiece rendering of Misty. She gives life to possibly the most endlessly heart-wrenching lyric of all time sure to carry thru the ages "walk my way.....and a thousand violins begin to play....or maybe it's the sound of your hello...." ahhh yes kiddies. Play these with scotch, re-doubled, and let everything just settle and calm. Mistify yourself. Go cool and serene. Like distant thunder from across the purple desert at sunset. Mellow is you. Mellow. It's lounge time. Lights dim. Feet up. Only the sound of your ice's wet tinkling in your cocktail. Because now, right now, it's all jake to the angels.
