Ada Shymore And The Boogie Men - The Band, A Drink, My Ears, And Me

Ada Shymore And The Boogie Men had to explore until they found what really suits them as a band,and Ada as a singer. A light, jazzy sound seems to be a good fit. The band is versatile enough to play different styles of music, and she's got a voice that adapts to different styles as well. They continue to work with arrangers and other music groups to augment their band when needed to very good effect. They're pretty much recording studio artists, have never played much in bars and lounges. And they seem to be fine with that, and so are we!

Going out to a club, listen to some music 
Don't have a date, unless I include me 
I do not want to dance, I do not want to rock 
Want to sip a few drinks, alone and free 
 
The saxophone is gently wooing me 
The soft guitars are gently soothing me 
Don't have any use for anything else 
Just the band, a drink , my ears...and me 
 
 Sitting at a table, paying full attention 
To the music that washes my soul 
I do not want to talk, I do not want to walk 
The music to heal my only goal 
 
The clarinet is crooning so softly 
The piano whispers so softly 
Don't have any use for anything else 
Just the band, a drink , my ears...and me 
 
 As the band takes five, a waiter arrives 
With a drink on his serving tray 
Compliments of the gentleman over there 
And the man starts to head my way. 
 
Bound to happen, sooner or later 
But I don't want any pick up talk 
Don't have any use for anything else 
So I take my ears..myself...and I walk....
