I have nothing profound to say today, but then again, do I ever? September sure went by quickly...

"Um, I'm gonna sing a song called -- actually I don't want to sing it but the trumpet players have to have a rest and, uh, I'm gonna sing this song called 'You and I and George'. In seriousness, the song was written by a successful songwriter, who one day awoke with a terrible hangover and decided that people didn't listen to the words of songs anyway, and so he wrote this. [...]

You and I and George
Went strolling,
Through the park one day.
And then, you held my hand,
As if to say,
I love you.
Then we passed a brook
And George fell in and drowned himself,
And floated out to sea,
Leaving you
Alone with me."

- Red Kelly, with the Stan Kenton band
