Try to Remember

U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf, 1987.

One more, 1934, Nana Mouskouri, Greek singer, Try to Remember.

Oh, that was lovely.

From a show called The Fantastics, as I remember, as I remember, Try to Remember, The Kind of September.

Yeah,

well, she had a most wonderful voice, fantastic.

I hated that elevator.

You walk up those stairs, and as soon as he would see me coming around the corner, he would a- almost immediately go into Try To Remember.

[laughs]

You know, I just finished editing that song, and I was thinking about you last week.

Yeah.

He wanted to sing Try to Remember.

Yeah, that's right.

He's been trying to remember this whole interview.

you

Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green And grain was yellow Try to remember The kind of September When you were a tender And callow fellow Try to remember And if you remember Then follow Try to remember

when

life was so tender that no one wept.

except the willow.

Try to remember when life was so tender and dreams were kept beside your pillow.

Try to remember when life was so tender and love was an ember above Try to remember, and if you remember, then follow.

Follow.

The Sinatra classic we talked about a little while ago.

And then to cap it all off, we're going to hear from Bobby Darin and his recording of Try to Remember off his absolutely classic 1966 album In a Broadway Bag.

It would end up being one of the last jazz big band albums of his career, and it's a real gem.

Sidney Bechet, Johnny Coles, Bobby Darin, right here on this tis autumn episode of I'm Old Fashioned on jazz.fm. 91.

Bye.
