About Me:
Each song is performed on the restored Steinway concert grand that once belonged to composer Dana Suesse (1909-1987).
Highlights will be songs from Hollywood movies, Broadway in the 1920s and 30s and independent songs from Tin Pan Alley. Mintun met several of his favorite writers, such as Johnny Green, Harry Warren, Edward Heyman, Ira Gershwin, Dana Suesse, Kay Swift and Harold Spina. Subscribers to the channel (which is free) will be notified of additions. By selecting playlist viewers may hear several songs in a row. A brief introduction will precede each musical selection. Mintun currently appears in concerts around the country, and has played such venues at Bemelmans Bar in the Hotel Carlyle, The Greenbrier Resort, and San Francisco's Huntington and Fairmont Hotels.

Edna Fischer loved to teach this song to her voice students. I had the pleasure of performing this and others for the composer himself, back in 1973.

My piano teacher, Lee Green, composed this song in the 1970s with lyrics by his wife, Virginia Haig.

Secondly -- I'm looking forward to attending your concert at Sanfillipp's Victorian Palace in July. Would it be possible that you could play one of the following: You're Such a Comfort To Me, my favorite of Dana Suesse....Whistling in the Dark, or the Gordon & Revel song intro'd by Alice Faye: When I'm With You? Thank you.
I have a request--(which I'm sure you get all the time lol)-- I'm heavily into Revel and Gordon stuff--can't find "It's swell of you" could you play that--Please!
Thanks
Bobby
ps--I'm swungithot - if you'd like to see me dancing to a Revel /Gordon tune: "Did you ever see a dream walking"
Thank you for your channel.
