Great tune! Caravan's always been one of my all time favorite instrumental big band pieces. Here's a tune I did with my school's big band a year ago

Wow! Very nice voice Elene! Thanks for posting that for all of us!

So, I have been promising to post here for a while. This one is less than satisfactory, but I think it shows my voice alright. My accompanist in this recording had never looked at the music before, so we are not quite a perfect team yet, but oh well.

Yeps, you have great vocals! And we have been waiting patiently for you to share some vocals with us. :eusa_clap

Blackjack, that sounds awesome! Thanks and keep them coming!

 

[Johnny J]

I don't have a great voice, but I can stay on key for the most part at least. Here's an original "showing off" my Jimmie Rogers-ish yodeling skills.

Love that song. I like singing it like Sinatra. And your "Night and Day" sounds like Ella Fitzgerald! Great Voice!!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Wow Elene Perry...!!

 

[Johnny J]

I posted this awhile back, but accidently erased it. Frank Sinatra's "I've Got a Crush on You".

Yeps...I just listened to your "Ave Maria." Listening to that, with the Pieta from St. Peter's on the screen, makes for some watery eyes. Beautiful! Thanks.

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it.

 

[Elene Perry]

No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've got a couple of other videos i might post later :]

 

[Shangas]

Currently picking out "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" on the piano. Hopefully I can do a recording for you guys.

I can't wait to hear it.

I just had a recital tonight (it went pretty well.) When I get the recordings back, I will try and post them here.

 

[Shangas]

I won't be singing anything. just playing. I don't have a voice that's good for public singing!!

Here we are.

I apologise for the quality.

If anyone is daring enough to sing along, the lyrics are below, along with the blurb I wrote for the video:

Written and composed in 1932, "Bei Mir Bistu Shein" was a Jewish showtune originally written in Yiddish. It proved extremely popular and was recorded by many famous artists including Al Bowlly, Benny Goodman, Guy Lombardo, Ella Fitzgerald, the Andrews Sisters, Kate Smith and in more recent times, the incomparable Max Raabe Und Das Palast Orchester. The song was also called "Bei Mir Bist Du Shoen" in German (the title used in this video). Its English title is translated as "To Me, You're Beautiful". Such was the song's popularity that in 1937, the original Jewish songwriter and composer authorised the song's translation into English.

Although highly popular throughout the Western world, the song was banned in Germany during the Nazi era due to its Jewish connections.

Lyrics:

INTRO:

Of all the girls I've known, and I've known some,
Until I first met you, I was lonesome,
But then you came in sight,
And my heart grew light,
And this old world seemed new to me.

You're really swell, I have to admit you...
...Deserve expressions that really fit you,
And so I rack my brain,
Hoping to explain,
All the things that you do to me,

CHORUS:

Bei Mir Bist Du Shoen,
Please let me explain,
Bei Mir Bist Du Shoen,
Means that you're grand!

Again I'll explain,
Bei Mir Bist Du Shoen,
It means you're the fairest in the land!

I could say 'Bella! Bella!', even say 'Wunderbar!',
Each language only helps me tell you,
How grand you are!

I've tried to explain,
Bei Mir Bist Du Shoen,
So kiss me, and say you'll understand!

N.B.: Even though I've used the German translation of the title, 'Shoen' is still pronounced as 'Shein' (to rhyme with 'rain') in order to fit into the song.

Also, this is done entirely without sheet-music. I played-by-ear the entire song. It took me about three days to pick out all the notes and chords.

 

[Yeps]

Sorry for the talking before the song starts, this was my encore.

Thanks. Despite not being in the recital proper, it was definitely the high point.
