Lol, I was telling F8 the name of the song. I asked Keith since Haley was busy with fans, and he brought it up on his phone to show me who wrote it.

Oh, well, then thank you for finding out what it was.

Hahaha hilarious! RT @mf8s: @HaleysTusk @KEiTHPHELPS tell her we all though she was saying abc not pc

Keith had a laugh I had to ask given Haliens' ability to search out things, this one thing stumped us

He pulled up the song and told me Coltrane's version is much faster

Should anyone wonder, the "PC" stands for Paul Chambers, Coltrane's bass player. It was a tribute song.

It was recorded by Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross (the vocalese group), so I suspect that it was Jon Hendricks who penned lyrics for it.

The Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross version:

Like with "Moanin'"?

I know that Annie Ross wrote lyrics for "Farmer's Market," "Twisted," and "Jackie." Lambert may have contributed at times, but Hendricks was the driving force/mastermind of the bulk of lyrics for the repertoire.

And so it ends. After all the anticipation, all the excitement and fun, all the great music and unique interactions with Haley herself, this edition of the Cosmo Adventures is over. Any sadness I may feel at its conclusion is more than counter-balanced by the lasting memories I have gained and my full awareness of how fortunate I was to be in a position to take part in this great event.

To all the fellow Haliens I was blessed with hanging out with this weekend, I want to send out a huge THANK YOU! Thank you all for your kindness, your good humor and most of all for making this adventure more than it ever would have been without you all there. Truly, being with everyone added elements to the Cosmo shows that cannot be calculated and can only be felt with a filled heart, a happy soul, and a brain brimming with the happiest of thoughts.

My eyes a burning a little bit right now as I am typing--my feelings about these past three days are that strong. Every single day had it own special treasures and I'm so happy that the capping moments closed the whole thing out on such a wonderful note. I was standing over by the side of the stage where Haley was doing her final meet and greet and my only intention was to be part of the moment and let others talk to her and have their pictures taken next to her. In another one of those "I'm not sure how it happened" moments suddenly Haley was directly in front of me. I really can't say whether she came up to me intentionally or not (I'd like to think she did), but anyway it gave me the perfect opportunity to say thank you to her for a wonderful show and to say how I hoped she will be back soon. Earlier in the evening Pat was kind enough to send and email to Chiara and include in it the little prose poem I posted the other day here on the site. I asked Haley if she had read it yet, and although she hadn't at least I knew she most likely would. I told her that the poem was about a particular moment in time that she wasn't aware of but would be familiar to her. I hope she likes it, although after Pat sent the email I began racking my brain, hoping I hadn't put anything too embarrassing in it (I had never anticipated Haley ever actually reading the thing).

After that, Haley thanked us all and gave Pat a hug. Since I was standing right there of course I couldn't miss this opportunity and got a Haley hug of my own. Then we all wished her well and she was on her way. It was a perfect ending to a perfect event. And now I'm tearing up again. :'P
