Song of the day: “Lullaby of the Leaves”

Anita O’Day, my favorite jazz singer, died a few days ago, and I didn’t even know about it. Nate Wiley, Robert Altman, Bebe Moore Campbell, now Anita O’Day … so many of my favorite people are gone.

Cradle me where Southern skies can watch me with a million eyes,
Oh sing me to sleep,
Lullaby of the leaves
Cover me with heaven’s blue and let me dream a dream or two,
Oh sing me to sleep,
Lullaby of the leaves.

Little sample of “Lullaby”

“Nightbird”
