Baby Wanna Play - More Lost and Found

Well, as I slowly find and digitize old vinyl recordings, I come across things I wrote that I had completely forgotten, like this one from the mid 60’s. Clearly intended as special material for a duo like Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, a publisher named Larry Coleman at TRO/Dartmouth that handled my work for a while must have produced this studio-made demo so he could shop it around to artists that might be interested. On the unmarked paper sleeve in barely legible pencil are the names of singers John Gary and Gale Garnett (who both had their share of records and hits), and for some reason also trumpeter and bandleader Al Hurt (I have no idea why, since the track is recorded with just a piano, one of life’s little mysteries). I’m guessing that means that Gary and Garnett are the ones who sang on this demo, and if so, they did a great job! Then it took a day of searching around the house to find the sheet music. I did the music, and a friend from Forest Hills named Florence Miller did the lyrics, according to the manuscript I found. Its fun to hear it after all this time! Enjoy.
