I’ve always loved that tune, “After You’ve Gone.” Probably have at least a dozen different recordings of it, from large big-band orchestrations, to small jazz combos. One of those curious songs, like “Chloe” or “Dinah,” that seem not so much a consciously constructed composition as something that just emanated up from the morning mists.

I agree. It’s a gem, isn’t it?

When Trump is elected we will see more music like this. But if CRUZ is the nominee, expect more Kanye West.
