face the music and dance

Hi there friend,

Life isn't perfect right now, is it? Even as you read those words, perhaps a list of unsettling things scrolls through the back of your mind. But you know what? Here we are. And in this moment, there is still so much about living to appreciate. 

Valentine's Day is coming up, and I found the lyrics to a jazz standard by Irving Berlin written in 1936 that feels like an appropriate sentiment for these times - Let's Face the Music and Dance.


There may be trouble ahead

But while there's moonlight and music

And love and romance

Let's face the music and dance


Before the fiddlers have fled

Before they ask us to pay the bill

And while we still have the chance

Let's face the music and dance


Soon, we'll be without the moon

Humming a different tune, and then


There may be tear drops to shed

So while there's moonlight and music

And love and romance

Let's face the music and dance

Let's face the music and dance

Enjoy this video of Diana Krall's live performance of Let's Face the Music and Dance. I just love her sultry vocal style and subtle piano improvisations! 

Now that you are in a romantic mood, get ready to start your Valentine's celebrations early! This Saturday night, bring your sweetie out to one of the finest Italian restaurants in Half Moon Bay to enjoy delicious food, wine and romantic jazzy love songs.
