 This tune was a hit in the wartime years
because of the nostalgic feeling for home
that it aroused in people. I recorded it
in the key of E rather than Eb or F because
I liked the brighter sound. Also, since
the recording was with guitar and we start
the piece real open and free, there are
lots of possibilities for
 harmonics from
the guitar and bass. It’s a nice, unusual
contrast the way the bridge goes to a totally
unrelated place by going into Ab.Bill Mays, pianist, composer
and arranger
