Boulevard Of Dreams
“Boulevard of Dreams” is a compilation culled from past recordings on the Swallowtail Records label. The good people at Swallowtail selected twelve favorite tracks (and included two new ones) to offer listeners a cross section from their “Cafe Series”. Here is sophisticated music with which to enjoy your moments of relaxation. Music to bask in though out your day and into your evening, especially with the one you love.
Song List
Track # 1 – “Falling In Love Again”
– you’re dancing in the kitchen, you’re listening to this song, and (oh-oh) you’re falling in love again!
Track # 2 – “Try a Little Tenderness”
– music to love by – lyrics to live by.
Track # 3 – Theme from “Summerplace”
– so carefree and effortless – I never tire of improvising over this delightful melody.
Track # 4 – “La Vie En Rose”
– perhaps the greatest Parisian song ever.
Track # 5 – “Falling in Love with Love”

Track # 6 – “I’m In The Mood For Love”
– a beckoning call to romance, sugar sweet.
Track # 7 – “Love for Sale”
– from Cole Porter’s early years (1930) – sultry and tragic – even without the lyrics.
