So far I’ve had By The Light of the Silver Moon and Mandy on repeat (both in my head and via the switchboard), and I’m actually loving it even more than Gelber & Manning Goes Public (which has my favorite from them, Poor Butterfly) and that’s saying a lot since it’s another that’s on repeat for me.

Even among vintage acts you don’t get this level of authenticity often, it’s very rare to hear a jazz piano like Gelber’s and Manning’s voice is clear, young and bright – and above all they really get it.

I’ll go into the track listing and whatnot when I get some time, but do yourself a favor and head to GelberandManning.com and at least listen to their stuff, you won’t be disappointed!

We’re finishing out the wee and then being replaced with an automated system! I can’t afford this…

At any rate, in better news, apparently the Vintage Lifestyle Hour’s doing really well – was happy to be a part of it, even if the hosts don’t always know what they’re talking about! One of them, in particular, has a tendency to get really political. Hate!

Okay, not a million, but she did manage to nearly break several of my fingers (and succeeded with one of them) so I’ve been having a real issue typing.

But, unfortunately, I have to type for work and it’s killing my hands to do it, so I don’t have it in me to type out my own blog most of the time – I’m pathetic!

Just so that this post isn’t a complete pity party, I thought I’d embed a song I can’t get out of my head at the moment. One you’ve all doubtless heard, but it’s too pretty not to rehash:
