That wasn't quite Nat King Cole. Yeah, I need to Shazam some things when the archive is up.

I'm temped to use Shazam on my old Vegas Tapes to see what BGM was used on some of those radio commercials. I'm a bit obsessed with those tapes.

Yup, it's Floyd. I just A-B'd the YouTube.

@Krys O -- I was thinking not, for not enough piano, but the Floyd's version on YouTube is a good match

"A-B'd"?

Mr Fab:

Here There and Everywhere
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:43pm

The "A-B'd" was the original name for The dB's. I think the better name won out.

My ex's dad, Bob Moore played with Floyd and all the Nashville Cats. We used to listen to all those albums.
