Xaviar Cugat number from You Were Never Lovelier. (that guy with the maracas tho)

Episode 32: Cheerful Little Earful by Johnny Guarnieri
We got this album in a super roundabout way, but we finally got it! Some swinging intrepretations of jazz standards by a prolific, but under-recognized pianist.
Super cute cover, right? You'd want to buy it for $3, too.
Less cute cover. Flissy has a hard time taking photos straight.
Shenanigans have nothing to do with that problem, we're sure.
