SONG WRITING
Stephen Shooster - In his youth, Herman thought song writing could be his career. A letter during the war mentions his friends gathered around a record player listening to his music. He put one of the pieces to music with the aid of Francis Davis, who was also a local weatherman on station WFIL. The rest of the pieces lack music. I sponsored George Tandy to have the one with music reproduced. We have two versions one with Herman’s voice and other other a professional. The rest of the pieces lack music. During the discovery I found one of the pieces written by Harry Shooster. TWO HEARTS HAVE I by Herman Shooster When we kiss the thrill is heavenly, I can feel it With the feeling deep inside of me, No one heart could bear such ecstasy, Two hearts have I… And the pounding’s like a hurricane, Beating faster than the driving rain, No one heart could ever stand the strain, Two hearts have I… (repeat) I know that I should beware, And try to cool down this affair, For lovers that float in the aiŕ Someday may tumble down … But when I decide to curb the glow, More and more the flame will seem to grow, This one heart could never undergo, Two hearts have I… (repeat) And both belong to you.

WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE lyrics by, Herman Shooster Hear the music of a vi-o-lin See the twinkle of a sleep-y star. Hear the whisper of a Faint gui-tar, When you’re in love. Touch a star, its light will shine for you, Feel the moon light dancing on your hair, linger in the warmth of arms that care, When you’re in Love Believe the mu-sic you hear Have faith and you’ve no-thing to fear. Welcome this gift of ro-mance Don’t miss your ho-ly chance. Trust the magic of the mood you’re in, Gather love before it fades a-way, Give your heart and soul in ev’-ry way When you’re in Love.
