    Jimmy, 

    you 
    look worried. 

    There's something on 

    your mind. 

    I wonder what it 
    is. 

    Say, 
    I just had 
    an argu

    ment with 
    Ziegfield. 

    Ziegfield? 

    On a Broadway 
    in 43rd. 

    Some 
    corner. 

    You 
    know, 
    Ziegfeld said, 

    know who 
    I am? 

    I said, you 
    know who I am? 

    What 
    happened? 

    He said, who 
    I am? 

    Yeah. I 
    said nothing. 

    I 
    was cornered. 
    Cornered? 

    But it 
    makes no 
    differ
    ence. 

    But I start out 
    the same. 

    Why 
    not, Jim? 

    Why, 
    this is what I wish 
    to convey. 

    What is it, 
    Jimmy? 

    Now 
    you know darn 
    well I 

    can do without 
    Broadway. 
    But? 

    But 
    can Broadway do 
    without me? 

    No. 

    Why, 
    Herald Square, 
    Times Square, 

    Columbus Circle, 
    96. 

    Say, 
    where am I? 

    Must have 
    passed my station. 

    Why, he's lost. 

    They 
    must have found 
    out at Times Square 


    that I passed my destination. 

    Why? 

    They sent messengers 
    all over 

    to get me 
    to head a celebration. 

    I get 
    it. 

    You know, as I 
    got off the express, 


    some yokel pushes 

    me into a local. 

    What happened? 

    The crowd's 
    seen a mistake. 


    Pulled the emergency 
    brake and shouted, 


    Why, there's 
    Jimmy that 

    well -dressed 
    man. 

    So 
    you know darn 
    well, I 
    can do without Broadway. 

    What? 

    What can Broadway 
    do without 
    me? 

    No. 

    Say, fellas, 
    you remember 

    when 
    Eddie Leonard got sick? 


    Certainly. I'll never forget 

    the day. 

    Neither will I. 

    I'm sitting home 
    when in 
    comes another 

    telegram which read... 

    What it read? 

    The only 
    one who can replace 

    Eddie Leonard is 
    you. 

    You! 
    I went, 
    and when I went, 

    I went. 

    How I went. 
    He's a wimp, 
    sir. 

    Why, 
    the applause 
    was definite 

    as 
    I started 
    crooning. 

    It was, 
    yes, sir. 

    That's my 
    baby. No, 
    sir. 

    I don't 
    mean maybe. 

    No, no. 

    That's not the 
    song. 

    What was 
    it, Jimmy? 

    Boy, what was 
    it? 

    For I 
    love you. 
    I love 
    you. 
    Ah. 

    Ah, 
    quack, quack, 
    quack. 

    Stop. 

    Why, let it 
    get swell. 

    All 
    be thanks me. 
    I'm not home ten 

    minutes. 

    When in 
    comes another telegram 
    which read, 


    What's it read? 

    Johnson topples 
    over. 

    Please 
    take his place. 

    Write your own ticket, 
    Lee and James. 

    Sure, 

    Well, I steps 
    out on that stage, 

    And on one 
    knee, One knee. 


    Not on both knees. 

    No. 
    I gazintas, 
    I gazintas, 

    Rock -a 
    -bye. 

    Bye, 
    baby. 

    Sing it, Jimmy Boy. 

    I know 
    which one it is. 

    I know 
    which one 
    it 
    is. 

    I 
    know which Boy. 

    Get on 
    your knees. 

    He sings on 
    one knee. 

    Yes, 
    and as I'm brushing 
    off that 

    knee backstage, 

    Schubert says, 
    Jimmy, 

    put in both 
    knees. 

    And? And Jolson 
    goes. 

    Take 
    it easy, Jimmy 
    boy, 

    please take 
    it easy. 

    But being an old 
    NBA man, 

    artist for artist. 

    Artist 
    for 
    artist. 

    I know 
    darn well I 

    can do without 
    Broadway. 

    Oh. 

    But can Broadway 
    do without 
    me? 

    No, 
    no. 

    Hey, 
    it's 
    the way to a 
    loud music!

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
