In 1956 or 1957 I think Frank Music recorded demos of these seven songs with several singers. Sadly I don’t know who they were. The musical direction was a little more dated sounding than some of the demo recordings that TRO and Mills Music would later make, but I’m very glad to have them anyway. Songs used to have intros, and many of these recordings include them - sometimes long ones!

Lost – a very nice performance.
Lonelyville – Maybe a little slow, but she has lovely voice, and quite an active vibrato!
Blue Notes – Frank Loesser loved this song of hers and said it convinced him she should continue to do both music and lyrics. This version is less compelling than the spectacular two later versions by TRO. Its great to have three convincing versions of this song.
My Heart and I – A beautiful performance. She’s a pretty impressive a singer, whoever she is.
Sleepy But Happy – someone had an idea about a celeste here. The ‘arrangement’ is somewhere between early Disney and Bing Crosby and a little sappy. It made me laugh a lot to hear it. I hope the song deserves better. It was written for a show I was working on with my husband called Miss Seedless Raisin [1958]
The Time, The Place, The Girl – This was written for my very first show, Once In A Lifetime [1950]. There are some skips in beginning portion of the intro, but then it steadies down. The intro is nearly a third the length of the song, which begins around 0:39 !
How Would I know – This is from a very early show I wrote with my husband called Love From Sandy [1955].
