Mike Reed plays "That's Life" on his Hammond Organ

"That's Life" is a popular song written by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon and first recorded by Marion Montgomery. The most famous version is by Frank Sinatra, released on his 1966 album of the same name. This song goes together with "Summer Wind" which I recorded yesterday. They both came out in Summer 1966, and I figured I shouldn't split these old friends up! So here goes, with a little bluesy and a bit of up-tempo.....just to keep in shape on a cold snowy day in March, 2017. School was cancelled, but I wasn't.....so here is my Hammond Organ lesson for the day.
Please enjoy, and stay warm! :0)
