Rabid Squirrel's Introductory Blurb

When I originally started playing on the Internet, I found a sad lack of jazz lyrics on the Net. These days it's heaps better but at the time this site started, things were looking bleak for shower singers who like jazz so this site was my small contribution.

There are some provisos. This isn't a particularly scholarly site, so I haven't always been able to give the name of the writer of a song. I hope to remedy this when I have sufficient time. If you do happen to identify a song written by an artist, please write and tell me. You'll have my eternal gratitude. Similarly, the songs here have been donated, typed by me, typed by others...... there are typographical errors and mistakes. Please e-mail me to tell me.

I use the term "JAZZ" very loosely, so while a lot of the songs here will fit into a conventional jazz, blues, swing, torch, big band categorisation - some of them are songs which I feel simply have a 'jazzy' feel to them, or have been sung in a jazzy fashion at some point or another. Feel free to write and denounce the presence of a song which you feel is inappropriate.

More importantly, if PLEASE feel free to contribute any lyrics which you think would be appropriate.
