Gorgeous tone, what a player........

Larry McKenna!

Thank God for Larry.

I have enjoyed many hours of Larry's playing and I'm not tired of it.

This song is great for someone with the musicianship of Larry's caliber.

I am so glad you uploaded this, and other, Larry McKenna video clips, skimee55! I haven't seen or heard him live for years now.

Larry is a good man with great skill, playing music beautifully.

The beauty of this song, the musicianship is hardly a shock! Larry McKenna IS a Philadelphia Legend - so warmly & richly deserving of accolades he has yet to receive. His newest cd, PROFILE is indicative of how such an artist takes a wild instrument and simultaneously infuses it with life, yet tames it, COMPLETELY!

great sound!!! Juan de Argentina

[pinkieldred]

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer? Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you How strange, how sweet, to find you still These things are dear to me They seem to bring you near to me The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you

Thanks for posting! Such great lyrics. I love this song.

Skimmie...I feel the same way. An absolute masterpiece . I loved Rod Stewart CDs , coming out with those "good ole good ones" as Satchmo used to say.

Larry McKenna's sax stylings are smoother than silk. Madison Rast is also excellent!

[skimmie55]

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces

An airline ticket to romantic places

And still my heart has wings

These foolish things remind me of you.

A tinkling piano in the next apartment

Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant

A fairground's painted swings

These foolish things

Remind me of you.
