October 16 - Bert Kaempfert (The Musical Birthday Series)

Bert Kaempfert (16 October 1923 – 21 June 1980) was a band leader, composer, and arranger.


















Slant

Back when easy listening reigned
  On everybody’s hi-fi,
No one had as yet complained
  That there wasn’t any wi-fi.

Yes, it was a simpler time,
   A time of simpler comfort,
Which doesn’t quite  provide a rhyme
  To celebrate Bert Kaempfert!















Two Lonely People

No doubt strangers in the night
Are still exchanging glances,
But swiping left and swiping right
Has much improved their chances.
