Mr.Henry Gad, that there is a warm sounding, highly desirable combination you got going on! Forgive me for lack of knowledge but what is the first song you play at 2:45 before "Body & soul? From memory I can hum along with it but what is it ?! I hate when I hear a song and can't recall the artist! Thank you for sharing your musical gift and passion with the world.
