"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" is a jazz
standard with music by Duke
Ellington and lyrics by Bob
Russell. The tune was originally called "Never No Lament" and was
first recorded by Ellington in 1940 as a big-band instrumental.
Russell's lyrics and the new title were added in 1942.
Two different recordings of "Don't Get Around Much
Anymore", one by The
Ink Spots and the other
by Ellington's own band, reached #1 on the R&B
chart in the US in 1943.
Both were top-ten pop records, along with a version by Glen
Gray. The Duke Ellington version reached #8 on the pop chart.[1] |

From My Friend, Susan, of NC
- 04/16/15:
| “We
should learn to be patient with ourselves. Recognizing our strengths and
our weaknesses, we should strive to use good judgment in all of our
choices and decisions, make good use of every opportunity, and do our
best in every task we undertake. We should not be unduly discouraged nor
in despair at any time when we are doing the best we can. Rather, we
should be satisfied with our progress even though it may come slowly at
times.”

04/16/16:
There were three men on a hill
with their watches. The first man threw his watch down the hill and it
broke. The second man threw his watch down the hill and it broke.
The third man threw his watch down the hill, walked all the way to the
bottom, and caught it. The other two men were puzzled and asked the
third man how he did it.
The third man said, "Easy. My watch is 5 minutes slow." |

Don't Get Around Much Any More
Words by
Bob Russell
(25
Apr 1914 - Feb 1970), 1942
Music by
Duke Ellington
(29 Apr 1899 - 24 May 1974), 1940
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Oh, Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates
Might have gone, but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
