Jazz guitarist Johnny Smith was born 100 years ago today. He’s probably best known for writing the song "Walk, Don’t Run", which became a hit for Chet Atkins and The Ventures, but since I just used that song, I felt to choose another. "Moonlight In Vermont" was the title track from Johnny’s 1956 album, which also featured Stan Getz on saxophone.

p.s. My kids both played the sax. My son was mostly a great guitarist in jazz bands and other bands. My daughter teaches music in Green Bay. But they both played it. Great instrument.

Always loved this song. Willie Nelson did a whole Stardust album years ago I still love.

That was the one where he did all standards, right? I always heard that was a good one.

This is just a nice relaxing song to sit in a comfy chair and read a good book.

I’m surprised it took me this long to discover him.

Such a great song. I’ve got several versions of it in my collection, but this one is new to me. Nice!

He’s best known for “Walk, Don’t Run,” but I’m finding all his stuff is good. I didn’t hear about him until a couple of years ago, and I love his stuff.

The whole album is on YouTube. Stan Getz plays sax on it, in his pre-bossa nova days. I should give it a listen…

I go the album but your idea of You Tube is easier.
