Are we going to have Jerome Kern this weekend? I LOVE him!

My favorite “story” about Jerome Kern is that he wrote all of the music for “Showboat” BEFORE he received the lyrics.

A truly masterful feat.

No, this weekend I'm doing songs that were on the charts on January 1, starting with 1959 and ending with 1990.

After Cole Porter and George Gershwin, I'll get to Kern in my Great American Songbook series.
