Music by Jean King

Upon
returning to the East Coast from visits back home, I began composing
more music about my hometown. This recording, which is dedicated
to my father, contains songs about him and the downtown
area where he grew up.
I
inherited my father's ear for music, and without his encouragement I
would not have developed my music career. The songs in this recording
reflect music styles of the '30s and '40s, the time in which he lived.
The music is a collection of show tunes: three instrumentals, two
spoken by me, and four vocal recordings.
