Directory:
i'm beginning to see the light
this can't be love
Old devil moon
God bless the child
twisted
sunny side of the street
lullaby of birdland
In walked bud
Cheek to cheek
I can't give you anything but love
Take the train
No moon at all
Body and soul
My funny valentine
bluessette
honeysuckle rose
Embrace me
I don't mean a thing
When you're smiling
All of me
Gypsy in my soul....
What remains of our loves?
Dead leaves
Devil may care
Gee Baby, ain't I good to you
I got you under my skin
Jody Grin
Making Whoopee
Misty
The more I see you
Nice work if you can get it
Smile
Wave...
