Shearing Two Birds

Before Stevie Wonder, before Ray Charles, the most famous blind keyboard player was George Shearing.  He died earlier this year, but today is his birthday.

He recorded over a hundred albums, but his most famous piece is his own "Lullaby Of Birdland."



Here's a Sarah Vaughan cover that includes the words (which Shearing didn't write--not that they're much to be proud of.)
