Shortly after my parents' 57th wedding anniversary last year my mother passed away following a long illness. Today would have been Mom and Dad's 58th anniversary but instead it has become an uncomfortable emptiness in the calendar. Here is a rendition of my parents' song, the Gershwins'"I've Got a Crush on You." This recording by Thad Jones dates from 1956, the year of their marriage.
"I've Got a Crush on You" (1928)
Performed by Thad Jones (1956)
