Play it again, Sam

O.k., you've got a copy of it somewhere -- "My Funny Valentine." Maybe you've got Sinatra's version, or Ella's. Or Miles Davis's. Or Elvis Costello's.

The darn thing is so worn out that there's only one time of year you can play it. And this is it.

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
Rogers and Hart. In the words of Greg Kihn, they don't write 'em like that any more.

While you're rooting around in there, get out the Mardi Gras music. Nevilles, Dr. John, Fats Domino, Clifton Chenier. And don't forget Robbie Robertson's Storyville.

Are you going to be on campus on the 24th? You should at least stop by because I will be unilaterally holding my 3rd annual law school mardis gras celebration from ~10 am - 2 pm. Beads for everyone and if you get there around noon, possibly a taste of some of my home-brewed beer.

I wish I could be there for the beer and the shindig. Save the beads for the ladies who are willing to do the shirt thing. :-)
