"It Had To Be You" - John Bianchi - Alternate Side of the Street Video

The latest alternate side of the street parking video - shot in my Saturn on 5th Avenue - is my take on the 1924 composition that was a hit for the Isham Jones Orchestra - "It Had to Be You". Music by Jones and Lyrics by Gus Kahn, this is one of those songs that everyone seems to know, but no one seems to know the verse. I've only included it instrumentally, but want to make the case that verses can so often be beautiful little pieces on their own, and textually set up the refrain (listen to Cliff Edwards's version of this song if you don't believe me). So play those verses, friends! I have the original sheet for this, so let me know if you want it. Played on my Ohana CKP-70 Vita Uke replica - a wonderful ukulele.
