Two Sleepy People BY Hoagy Carmichael

When we were living in different countries, my wife and I would fall asleep late at night while talking to each other on the telephone. We would also sing songs, and this is the one we sang the most often, while trying to stay awake while falling asleep. in that vein, i sing it here a capella

My dad loved this song! He’d given me an album with his favorite songs and thus was on it.

Great song and wonderful story going along with it.

I only know the Fats Waller version.
Great crooner-style approach.
I love that you have a personal connection to this tune.

i have a personal connection to all of my rocktober covers, which is ow i chose them. sometimes they are not even very good songs, but they meant something to me when i first heard them and whatever it was then has stuck with me through the yers,
