I was singing scraps of "These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)" as I was sorting at the Thrift Store and was surprised another thrift herder didn't know it. I looked it up to send her the link and was surprised again at how many people have covered the song, written by British
songwriters Eric Maschwitz and Jack Strachey in 1936.
Frank Sinatra, of course...
I like Dinah Washington's cover.
And, oh, man, I am very partial to Chet Baker's dusty trumpet.
Here--you can try them all (list on youTube).
My favorite thrift is the bits and pieces that come in old sewing baskets, such as marking chalk and garter grips; worn thimbles and half-empty spools of thread; and sometimes even mysterious little trinkets.
They remind me of someone I don't know.
I recently arranged my stash in little plastic boxes.
