As a follow up to our smash hit “Bye Bye, Blackbird, here’s the second in a continuing series of occasional piano/vocal jazz standards plucked from bygone days. This time, we’re headed all the way back to 1921 for “Second Hand Rose,” written by Grant Clarke and James F. “the F stands for foot pedal, sonny, and don’t you forget it” Hanley.
This track features lead vocals by eb (of “Clowney“ fame) and and lead German-style vocals by Eileen Dahl (of “Love“ fame).

delightful. eb has it going on. sweet and soothing.
“Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.”
