Thought I’d start 2026 with an all time favourite that I pull on every gig. Written and recorded by the man himself Harry Connick Jr at the tender age of 22 - damn! You always know a great song when people feel like they’ve heard it before, and this one always turns heads.

I’ve been playing this for a long time, but just before I hit record I figured I’d revamp my intro for it, so here it is - another 3am finish (hence the guitar gurning)! Hope you like it!

Speaking of Great Ideas - for me 2026 is a year of songs, and the plan was originally to post every day; but with a 5 month old and a 3 year old - well, you get the picture

Anyway - got some outrageously swinging Nat King Cole gems in the works, so stick around!

A huge shoutout to the obscenely talented pianist who introduced me to this song all those moons ago!

Managed to squeeze out another 3am studio take before heading off to Chile - an arrangement I put together years ago of the shockingly underplayed ‘Don’t Let It Go To Your Head’!

First heard this song on Nat’s ‘57 record ‘After Midnight’ - which is just stunning from start to finish and even features Juan Tizol (Caravan - which is even on the record) and Sweets Edison!
