Thank you for sharing.Thanks---BUT I think 'great' should be reserved for the TRUE greats, jazz or otherwise. Glad you like the song, though. Please pass it along. I'd like to see some recordings by fine singers. Here's an updated lyric, and thanks to an astute singer named Christine, who pointed out some lyrical anomalies. I THINK I got it right, finally (and 2 notes now have to be added to the lead sheet melody): NOT A BAD NOVEMBER By Joel Fass (c) 2003 Exemplar (ASCAP) Verse (rubato): When September leaves her chill Though it be a bitter pill Never curse September, or the luck you've got For when new love comes one day That's the time for us to say: 'It's not over---and there's one more thing it's not': (Ballad tempo) A1: It's not a bad November After that chill in early Fall No, it's not a bad November---after all A2: It was a dreary, dark September (S)he left, and I heard winter's call Ahead of time, cold and rime---December What a Fall! B: Then October came with greener view Bringing promise, bringing you We found love And a song our hearts could sing Now it's November, all is new I have found my strength in you When we love---Every Season seems like Spring C: All told, it's Not a bad November in fact since you came my way It's May---each day's our first So come on in, December Do your worst! (2nd x: to coda) (Instr. solo from 'Now it's November...';vcl. re-entry at: 'All told, it's...' Coda (over repeated instr. figure): November November!
