Don't Get Around Much Anymore, 1940, Duke Ellington

[Rene Asologuitar]

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" is a jazz standard written by composer Duke Ellington.

The song was originally entitled "Never No Lament" and was first recorded by Duke Ellington and his orchestra on May 4, 1940.
"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" quickly became a hit after Bob Russell wrote its lyrics in 1942.

This song is dedicated for all our elders, as we honor their lives and contributions to our culture and heritage.

May we find the courage and patience to love and honor all of their being, as they continue to inspire and love us!!!

Pray for all the peoples we lost in the war in Ukraine. So many lives lost.
Pray for Peace!!!

Needed to hear this song today. My wife and I tested positive for Covid and we 'won't be getting around much" during quarantine. Thanks for sharing! As of my post, the three Freds enjoyed your rendition of this Ellington classic.

Hi Fred,
I am hoping and praying that you and the lovely better half are coping well with the covid.
Get well very soon, you two!!!
Eat healthy, rest plenty, and hydrate to flush out the infection.

I am truly loving your wonderful comments, minus the covid infection.
Respectfully,
Rene
