Alex Bird - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire

I first heard this 1941 tune in the extraordinary video game "Fallout 3". It was performed by the Ink Spots, with words and music by Eddie Seiler, Sol Marcus, Bennie Benjemen and Eddie Durham. I was lucky enough to hear Betty Carter's 1960's version on the radio this morning. I knew I had to record it. Her's was arranged by one of Bobby Darin's arrangers, Richard Wess. It also features the great, Red Norvo, on vibes!

So here it is, complete with a vintage feel just for you :)

Love always,

Alex

Kid, you have one of those familiar sounding voices. Ya know, when you hear it for the first time you say, "Who is that? I've heard that voice before."

Great quality, Alex. I think you have a legitimate chance to go somewhere with this talent of yours.

Did my grandpa really relax in his room at Sundays listening to this?No wonder he's such a calm and laid-back man today...

[bawdybill]

Neat. Your voice sounds like it is actually coming off the record! Another prize for all Alex Bird fans.
