Enjoy Channing's delightful version of "Confessin" (I didn't catch the second song) in the Apocalypse Accordion tent at Cotati in Aug. 2014. Besides being a talented accordionist, Channing works at Apocalypse Accordion in San Francisco as a repair tech. (Sorry about the background noise from the festival actives).

"(I'm) Confessin' (that I Love You)" (also known as "Confessin'," "I'm Confessin'," and "Confessin' that I Love You") is a jazz and popular standard that has been recorded many times.

The song was first produced with different lyrics as "Lookin' For Another Sweetie," credited to Chris Smith and Sterling Grant, and recorded by Thomas "Fats" Waller & His Babies on December 18, 1929.

In 1930 it was reborn as "Confessin'," with new lyrics by Al Neiburg, and with the music this time credited to Doc Daugherty and Ellis Reynolds. Louis Armstrong made his first, and highly influential, recording of the song in August 1930, and continued to play it throughout his career. (Wiki)
