Johnny Hodges

John Keith "Johnny" Hodges (July 25, 1906 – May 11, 1970) was an American alto saxophonist, best known for his solo work with Duke Ellington's big band. He played lead alto in the saxophone section for many years, except the period between 1932–1946 when Otto Hardwick generally played first chair. Hodges was also featured on soprano saxophone, but refused to play soprano after 1946, when he was given the lead chair. He is considered one of the definitive alto saxophones players of the Big Band Era (alongside Benny Carter). more »

Funny the way I feel now
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Everything seems unreal now
When you're not around

Day Dream
Why do you haunt me so?
Deep in a rosy glow 
The face of my love you show

Day Dream
I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share

Don't know the time
Lordy, I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky
While I moon around, feeling hazy

Day Dream
Don't break my reverie
Until I find that he
Is day dreaming just like me

Day Dream
Why do you haunt me so?
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show

Day Dream
I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share

Don't know the time
Lordy, I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky
While I moon around, feeling hazy

Day Dream
Don't break my reverie
Until I find that he
Is day dreaming just like me
