It’s a cold and rainy weekend. If the forecast holds true, we’ll have five days straight of it. But there’s always something, right? Always something to get you through.

This has always been one of my favorite songs. This is the song my Dad and I danced to at my wedding. It doesn’t take much more than that to lift my spirits. As long as we’re talking about Louis Armstrong, though …

And good God, could you ask for more? Louis and Ella Fitzgerald (swoon!) together. Oh, Ella, I could just listen to your sweet smooth voice for days. Such a syrupy, warm sound. Her voice is like the yellow lamp light when you’re putting on your pearls and perfume, sipping from a rocks glass before a night on the town. You know it’ll be cold out there, but she makes you so warm inside.

And finally, oh Ella, Ella, Ella, how I love you.

Have a good weekend, guys. Mwah!
