KEN SLAVIN: "But Beautiful"

I included this gorgeous ballad by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke on my latest CD, "I'll Take Romance." It features the sensual, muted trumpet playing of Grammy Award winner Al Gomez, a long-time music friend here in San Antonio. Also featured on this track are the incomparable Morris Nelms on piano; Chuck Moses on bass; and Kevin Hess on drums/brushes.

@musicbod2 Thank you, Ida! I tried to send a message to your channel, but you have something called "friend lock." I think you re-set your access settings. So I have made another friend request. Be sure to look for it and accept, so I can write you a longer message on your channel! Thanks! -- Ken

@musicbod2 Dear Ida: It is so nice to hear from you today. I'm glad you enjoying a vacation in Canada and, hopefully enjoying cooler weather than we are in San Antonio. I am doing well, thank you! I am singing regularly at a restaurant called Ruth's Chris Steak House. I'm working with very talented musicians and, as always, I enjoy singing so much. Take good care, Ida, and I look forward to chatting here again soon! Warm good wishes, as always! -- Ken
