Ahlert FredMean To Me
 



Mean To Me

This is my own arrangement of the jazz standard "Mean to Me" by Fred Ahlert
and  Roy Turk. I have arranged it with an alternating base beat. If
you're not familiar with this great song, a nice vocal rendition of this
was done by Linda Ronstadt on her "Lushlife" recording. If you enjoy this,
I'd appreciate an e-mail note, just to let me know this hasn't disappeared
into the ether.
