The credit on the vinyl label says: "I hear music: (Lane-Arlen). I found a youtube of Billie Holiday singing "I hear music" and it does not sound the same ... finding another recorded version of "Just Friends" is more difficult.

I had the opportunity to record his wife Gay Mehegan before she past on. We found the master tape after 15 years missing. We Lebish Grinnell Music have digitized and mastered this recording of Gay playing John's 300 year old Steinway is pristine. If anyone that knows John, he trained his wife very well ans she is masterful on this master. Anyone interested in this recording?<br />JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-18707022677310285162013-07-29T16:03:08.371+01:002013-07-29T16:03:08.371+01:00fan-tas-tic ! after the one with costa et the othe...fan-tas-tic ! after the one with costa et the other casual affair I was searching for his south african period !
