Years ago at a job that played music softly throughout the office, I asked my boss What is that they're playing?
(I think I'd heard it on a movie soundtrack, a 'standard', popular before my birth).
He pondered and listened and said Moonlight Serenade. I think he was right.
Cut to years later, same movie whose soundtrack did indeed include Moonlight Serenade.
But. It also had this other song, this other tune. Probably not the one my boss and I were hearing, but another one I'd confused then and kept on confusing for decades.
This morning, Starbucks. Ella's singing it, the 'big screen' showing its name:
In the head, it's a trombone melody, a Tommy Dorsey sound.
