Hive Open Mic 144 - Girl from Ipanema (Cover)

Hello all in our Hive Open Mic Community!

This week's theme "Melodic Dose" chosen by @lyon-89 leaves us some room to explore songs of many tastes and genres. My choice fell on a song that I started doing with our band "Swing 42", but has not been on our list for some time. However, it's always been a favourite of mine and sure is on my own list.

Funnily enough has @purplesinger also chosen a song for this week that we used to do with the band, but which has been on the backburner mainly because we tend to play for dancers and some tunes work better than others for certain dance styles. The dancers that join us at our gigs are usually Lindy Hop dancers.

The Girl from ipanema is originally sung in Portuguese, I believe; Please correct me in the comments if I've got that wrong.

However, as I have recently started learning Spanish, and I have found Spanish versions online I think, I sure will re-record this in the future.
I can't wait actually to do that, but I've still got some practicing to do, so for today it will be "just" the English lyrics of the song.

I hope, you enjoy it and , as always, thanks for taking the time to giving it a listen.
