Joshua came home from drum lessons with a new book a few months ago called I've Got You Under My Skins. He's been working on learning swing/jazz for about a year. His teacher felt it was time to step it up a bit and learn how to read jazz charts. The book is used in our area for the county jazz band try-outs, or rather, each year a different song from the book is chosen. A student cannot try out for counties until ninth grade. Joshua is in sixth.
One day, a few weeks ago, The Boy was struggling with a particular piece that the book is titled from, "I've Got You Under my Skin." So, Jeremy decided to search you tube to find Old Blue Eyes singing.
As soon as it came up, Joshua nearly shouted, "You mean this is a REAL SONG?!??"
"Yeah. Didn't you know? Irv Cottler, the guy who wrote your book, was Frank Sinatra's drummer?"
"Who's Frank Sinatra?" Josh asked.
