Another stumper. Trying to find on what Martin Short's various "_____ Is a Lady" performances are based. In his book, Martin credits Frank Sinatra's "L.A. Is My Lady," but it sounds nothing like the MS music. I turn my lonely eyes to you, @paulshaffer.

Last 8 bars was from Sinatra. The rest was original.

Excellent. Thanks so much.

Don, you rock man. I can’t thank you enough for your tireless work. We enjoy watching particularly those episodes in the 1980s, and Paul Shaffer is one cool cat.

Thanks, but what I’m doing is simply preserving what treasures the creators have brought to us. Every atom of credit goes to their enormous talents.

Indeed true, but there’s nothing simple about what you’re doing, it’s amazing work that we appreciate.

My stock answer to why I’m doing this: “Because nobody else is.” Why that is is just bewildering. Well, maybe not — others have actual lives.

Yeah. NBCU is too busy working on Minions 5 to worry about archiving one of their finest gems of television artistry.
