I'M Beginning To See The Light  Ellington Birthday Jam

 words and music by Harry James, Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges and Don George as performed by The Yalloppin Hounds, featuring Melissa Kate Miller

I never cared much for moonlit skies I never wink back at fireflies But now that the stars are in your eyes I'm beginning to see the light I never went in for afterglow Or candlelight on the mistletoe But now when you turn the lamp down low I'm beginning to see the light Used to ramble through the park Shadowboxing in the dark Then you came and caused a spark That's a four-alarm fire now I never made love by lantern-shine I never saw rainbows in my wine But now that your lips are burning mine I'm beginning to see the light

This is treated as a complete harmonic as well as textural remix. It's so dark, we chose to have Melissa leave out the word "light" each time ....
