Concerning Klemmer, there was the daughter of a movie producer with whom I had a friendship. We used to sit around, smoke pot relax and listen to the "Touch" album.

She was a gifted writer but totally impractical, going out of her way to tick off people who could help her get published or produced. After a nasty back injury that kept her in tremendous pain, she swallowed a bottle of pills and killed herself. The song brings back a lot of memories, but different form yours, I'm sure.

Peggy’s decade was the 1950s, but this captures her during her Big Band days during the war. Here she handles it with simplicity, a smoky small jazz club arrangement.
