Description

If I Were A Bell - The One Take Sessions.

This is such a cute tune composed by Frank Loesser. I first heard Ella Fitzgerald singing it and she is one smiling singer. You can hear it in her tone. Ella is one of the greats and someone I certainly have learned a lot from as a jazz vocalist.

So, jumping on the mic today to rehearse for tomorrow night's gig at Foundry 616 Harris st Sydney Australia. Doors open at 6.30 Band starts at 8.30
Dinner and a show is the way to go.
Tickets at the door or you can purchase online from the Foundry616 website
Rodric White has put together a great Sextet to play the music of Miles Davis John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.
And I'll be there singing a few tunes as well !

If I Were A Bell - Composer Frank Loesser

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cosy and clingin'
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a bell, I'd be ringin'
From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I've just gotta behave
Boy, if I were a lamp, I'd light
Or if I were a banner, I'd wave

Ask me how do I feel
Little me with my quiet upbringing
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a gate, I'd be swinging
And if I were a watch
I'd start popping my springs
Or if I were a bell
I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding

Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning
Well sir all I can say is if I were a bridge I's be burning
Yes, I knew my morale would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked
Boy, if I were a duck, I'd quack
Or if I were a goose, I'd be cooked

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Well, if I were a salad
I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring
Or if I were a bell
I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding
