Lyrical

My good friend Joe had some bad news recently. His elderly father passed away. Fortunately, he was able to spend his last few days with him in his home state of California. When Joe and his sister were packing up his father's belongings there was his collection of books on lyrics by the masters of 20th Century popular song, great artists like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Frank Loesser, and Lorenz Hart. Joe asked me if I'd like to have them and of course I jumped at the chance. He sent them to me cross-country and they're now happily ensconced on my shelves along with other large coffee table books. I love them and am glad they found a good home (thanks Joe!) :)
