In a sentimental mood (1935)
is this Chris Gray brother of Nigel, record producers ?Comment

You've got the other Ellington number.
Chris is more likely to be found in the company of a Lady In RedComment

To sum up:
Albert W Ketelby - In a Monastery Garden/Chinese Temple Garden/Persian Market, published between 1915 and 1923
Edward Kennedy 'Duke' Ellington - In a Mellow Tone/Sentimental Mood, published in the 1930s
Chris De Burgh - In a Country Churchyard, published in 1977.
It's Cloughie's 'J', yes?Comment

Just being facetious, sorry...

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

A propos of not very much I was just thinking about Northender's choice of Ellington songs - ManTran did a good version of 'In a Mellow Tone' and Roberta Flack 'In a Sentimental Mood'.Comment

Sir Walter Scott wrote a Life of Napoleon which presumably dealt with Joséphine de Beauharnais; and Josephine was the name of Peter Rabbit's mother.
