Recordings
These songs date back to the 1920’s and 1930’s except the last one, Runnin’ Out of Fools, thus some of the dated black and white shots, taken waaaaay after those times, but with that old sepia toned feel from that era.
Amy sang since she was a toddler, but recorded these recently. Her singing, photography and design skills are all inherited from her mother, June, who sang opera, was the official photographer for the Bronx Zoo and had an interior design business later in life. She feels lucky to have had the exposure to all these art forms from both ends of the gene pool! Enjoy the music. Thanks for buying them!

A great standard, accompanied by some terrific musicians, led my Mark Fifer on the keyboards. A wonderful flute player, Methany Mason, subs as the blackbird!
