See. He even liked dogs.
Happy Birthday, Cole. He was born in 1891 in Indiana. Such a debonair fellow to be from Indiana. NOT that you couldn't be debonair and be from Indiana...
I wish I had a favorite Cole Porter song but I don't. I just can't choose. But I suppose, "In the Still of the Night," would have to be up there - such a beautiful melody. Then I like, "Every Time We Say Goodbye." Rosemary Clooney has a lovely recording of that one. And then perhaps, "You'd Be So Easy To Love." I could go on but I'll stop.
Do you have a favorite Cole Porter song? If you can't think of one, just think of something/anything Fred Astaire sang. He introduced so many of CP's tunes to the world.

I'm like you -- too many songs are favorites. But one of his that's always been so fun for me is "Anything Goes." I love the lyrics!
Has "Don't Fence Me In" become a staple at the cowboy sessions yet?
Isabel: Yes! "Don't Fence Me In" is one that Don sings. And it's how Augie knows who Cole Porter is-:).
"You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" -- Nancy Wilson's or my girl-crush Julie London's in particular, but I also like Diane Keaton's slowed-down take in the film Radio Days.
You'd Be So Easy to Love! That's a good one!
