I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark

Ray Bolger made that show ("Where's Charley?") with his audience sing-along approach to "Once in Love with Amy." Bolger was a great dancer. He and Harold Arlen roomed together for a while in NYC in the 30s.

How wonderful! Thanks so much David and Stacey! If that song could be sung to me every day with that dance, I'd be in such a constant state of bliss!
