Goodnight Starlite Motel

SOUND CLIPS:


“….[The] highlight of the CD with her original ballad “Goodnight Starlite Motel,” led in by tiny piano clusters and a light bluesy talking sax as her lyrics bring images of the road, motels, finding your way among lost hearts. This is a magic song that should be in the repertoire of every jazz standards singer. It has a lovely bluesy, almost talking mood that builds. Absolute perfection.”
