The Big Band Era

Liner notes

My father wrote lyrics when he was young. We have them. Never had the music. Today, with the help of AI we have the music. Once the music was working I took the time to use his own voice as the singer. Now you can hear Herman Shooster sing his own music! And it makes me cry every time!!

This is the end,
We just can't conceal it,
The music's still playing
But the feeling's gone quiet.
This is the end, We just can't conceal it, The music's still playing But the feeling's gone quiet.
Don't try to mend
A love that must die,
Let's not pretend
Our kisses still fly.
Don't try to mend A love that must die, Let's not pretend Our kisses still fly.
The lights are still glowing,
The band keeps on blowing,
Yet something inside us
Has already died.
The lights are still glowing, The band keeps on blowing, Yet something inside us Has already died.
