One from the archives this week. This one was an actual hit by virtual coffeehouse standards. After more than ten years of preforming together, the virtual coffeehouse sees jk and Brooke's first ever duet: Irving Berlin's 1950 "You're Just n Love." Cringe along to the avuncular "rub down with the velvet glove;"

Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye

What a great song. I heard a terrible elevator-music version in a Chinese restaurant and the tune stuck in my head. (You should have heard their version of "Whiter Shade of Pale.") The coffeehouse muse ran down the tune for me. It was written by John D. Loudermilk.
