After sixteen years of depression and war, Sachmo sings Johnny Mercer, New Year's Eve in Zanzibar, 12-31-1945.

You've got to accentuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum

Bring gloom down to the minimum

Have faith or pandemonium's

Liable to walk upon the scene

Let us know what you're listening to tonight.
