One of them featured the words "Why do birds sing so gay?," which fit in with lyrics of other songs that Jimmy had been writing based on a 1-6-2-5 chord pattern.

Frankie did some improvising and re-created the melody to match his own style. According to Jimmy Merchant, what happened at the recording session was a combination of "Frankie's singing ability coupled with George Goldner's special ability to bring out the best in Frankie

All’s fair in Love and War We have all realized, at one point, that war is a part of our society; it is a part of our lives whether we want to admit it or not.

Rather, Hemingway depicts the grim, day to day realities of war, pervaded by a sense of hopelessness and tragedy. The love story between…
