Merry Christmas To You And Yours! |
Jazz rode high in the Fifties, and it was Peggy’s decade. She takes a very different look at the song in 1953 – and it works, which is why it’s such a big part of the Great American Songbook.
Hurrah for having heat again!!
Do you know why the freezing and how to prevent it?
Most oil heat tanks are in a basement, but i live in a mobile home with the tank outside. This works fine in the South, but not so great in New England. Last night was BEYOND Cold. Wind chill with the 4 degree temp was calculated to be 30 below.
First we thawed out the lines with a hair dryer, then wrapped it with electrical wire to warm it, and wrapped insulation around it. The water drains were thawed with kettles of boiling water heated up on the propane stove.
The plumber had to come twice. He flushed out the system and restarted it.
A guy from church will come over (hopefully on the weekend) to wrap the rest of the pipes.
I am tired.
Ella recorded this song many times over her career, and each time she gave it a different spin. This version is from her 1956 retrospective of Cole’s music, and she gives it a Big Band feeling.
In 1964, Ella made her appearance at a jazz festival in France, and this live version is a small jazz club arrangement. She gives the song a completely different sound. You won’t believe the way she works the high note at the end.
By the Seventies, Ella, like so many others, had gravitated to Nelson Riddle as a conductor and arranger. This 1972 recording puts yet a different spin on the tune.

Duuuuuude.....
Frank recorded this many times over his career and made it one of his trademark tunes. His recording with Nelson Riddle in the Sixties was the landmark recording. Riddle said he based his orchestration on Ravel’s “Bolero.”
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Ooooooooh! Love that graphic!
Thank you. I never get to see Christmas scenes like that! LOL!
Howdy, Kathy.
Did you get enough snow to make driving a little less treacherous while you were out this afternoon?
We have that here, but it’s a small snowy town, not a big snowy city.
That is very cool! :)
