The Great American Standards

Post by Turkeytop » Sun Jun 19, 2022 9:29 pm

What are some of your favourite standars from the Great American Songbook.

Two that come to mind for me are -

Laura - by Frank Siatra

That's All - by Nat King Cole


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.
