My Foolish Heart (Washington / Young) performed by Gio (vocals) and Geoff Peters (piano)

This is a beautiful jazz standard (of which there are many great recordings out there - one of my favorites right now is Kurt Elling's rendition.

In this video Gio sings and I (Geoff Peters) play piano on our own improvised jazz arrangement of My Foolish Heart. I take a piano solo in the middle, and Gio does some improvising around the melody of the tune after the piano solo.

Lyrics:
The night is like a lovely tune, beware my foolish heart!
How white the ever distant moon, beware my foolish heart!
There's a line between love and fascination,
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this,
For they both give the very same sensation.
When you're lost inside the magic of a kiss.
Your lips they're much too close to mine, beware my foolish heart!
And should our eager lips combine, then let the fire start.
For this time it isn't just fascination, or a dream that will fade and fall apart,
This is love this time, this time it's love, my foolish heart!

Thanks, I'll check out your sites. I was hoping you had done a CD together, though. You're such a great combination.

[geoffpeterstrio]

@beroset thank you!! I think we should do a CD too. Gio is so talented!

[beroset]

Visit No. 3. This is really exquisite. Do you guys have a CD?

[geoffpeterstrio]

@beroset thanks! I have a CD, it's available through my youtube channel. Gio also is working on one. take care, Geoff

[marcelo1221313]

where can i get the sheet music?

[geoffpeterstrio]

@marcelo1221313 sorry there isn't sheet music for this exact performance, but the song My Foolish Heart is a jazz standard so you can probably find some sheet music for it at your local music store. cheers! :) Geoff

If the two of you haven't done a CD together, do you sell the songs? Like maybe this one and 'Moonlight in Vermont'--the only ones of yours I've seen on YouTube? I would be willing to pay for them in the form of files or a CD.

Hi again--I'm talking about the number below the picture showing how many people have watched your video. I believe that if a person watches but not to the end, the number won't go up for that viewing. Since the music for this video ends before the strip under photo ends, I fear the number representing your viewers may be smaller than the number of people who actually watched and enjoyed the whole piece. I could be wrong though. :) Don't know if there is a way to fix that.

[geoffpeterstrio]

thank you. I'm not sure about that? I have credits on most of my videos.

I came back to listen again--excellent. I wonder about the way your song doesn't use the entire strip below the picture--the music ends before the end of the line. Will that mean some views won't be recorded? I don't believe a view is added to your count unless the viewer stays to the end of the line. Thanks for the great music.
