Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1461636 Composed by Billy Rose, Edgar Leslie, and George W Meyer. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Broadway,Film/TV,Jazz,Musical/Show. Score. 2 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #1040380. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1461636). This tune, The Girl I Left Behind Me', was written in 1932 by Edgar Leslie. Mr. Leslie was born in Stamford, Connecticut in 1885 and published his first song in 1909, starting a long prolific career as a composer and lyricist. He died in 1976. He was a founding member of ASCAP in 1914. Leslie served as its director from 1931 to 1941 and from 1947 to 1953. His most enduring success of the era was probably 1935's Moon Over Miami and For Me And My Gal. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We also added some pretty cool left-hand fills for your listening (playing?) pleasure - we hope you like what we've done to make this arrangement unique!

Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Broadway,Early Music,Film/TV,Musical/Show. Score. 2 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #819812. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1223665). For Me and My Gal, a public domain song published over a hundred years ago! It was written by George W. Meyer with lyrics by Edgar Leslie and E. Ray Goetz. The song was used in the 1942 film of the same name, where it is the first song that Jo Hayden (Judy Garland) and Harry Palmer (Gene Kelly) perform together. This version was developed from the original 1917 sheet music which John and I simplified considerably (particularly the left-hand part) so that someone of average ability can play it as-written and sound great doing so! Enjoy!
