[78-L] And then I wrote...

[Taylor Bowie]

I'll toss in a vote for Matt Dennis's hipster version of Will You Still Be 
Mine?  I have it as a live recording on a 10" 78...I guess it's from around 
1953,  and has some updated lyrics with funny references to Johnny Ray and 
Marilyn Monroe.

Not exactly a 78,  but I was lucky enough to hear Joe Bushkin at the St. 
Regis  in NY twice about twenty years ago,  and both nights he told the 
audience that "now I'm going to play a medley of my hit" which was 'Oh, 
Look At Me Now" and he did a wonderful job on it.
