1. I love Jon Batiste

He has played at the Kennedy Center. I was so sorry when he left Colbert.

he's really talented and seems like a beautiful person.

2. Love both these guys.

Saw Randy in Chicago, I think the place was called the Ivanhoe. It was right around the time he put out out Short People. His show was very entertaining.

This is a really good song written by Doc Pomus and first made popular by Ray Charles.

But this cover is very good, even better I think mthan the Ray Charles one.


Not too long ago I thought to myself that Randy must be a millionaire times over just from his royalties from the Monk theme song cause it was on so many channels at all hours for so long.

4. Thanks for the info about the song and

Ray Charles; I wasn't aware of it. I think I like the cover better, too.
