REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD



CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides" remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

Happy New Year’s Eve Eve!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Publius, and thank you for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled”.

[mountainlion]

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life but it is the last day of the year. Happy New Year.

Hi Everybody!

JANUARY 1, 1959

Jerome Kern, a songwriter of the Great American Songbook, along with lyricist Dorothy Fields, wrote this tune for the musical “Roberta,” which was turned into a movie in 1935 with Irene Dunne singing this heartbreaker.

Producer Buck Ram slowed it down but kept the 2/2 time signature to create the perfect song for really, really slow dancing. Tony Williams performed vocal honors.

#2: The Platters: “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”

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.

American, British, and German troops all loved “Lili Marlene” by Lale Andersen.

[Publius]

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.

OK...that sounds great too! :-)

We said goodbye to 2 Grand Old Oprey stars this year. Jim Ed Brown and Jean Shepard. Country music is a sadder place for their loss. RFDTV Family Reunion still features their music.

That IS one of my very favorites!

Funny thing...my record always stuck at a certain point in the second verse, and I still can’t listen to it without expecting that to happen. LOL!

[Publius]

I located a source for the top ten songs of each year since the war years, and I'm looking at that for next year's New Years project.

I'll stop somewhere in the Nineties because the music got dark and nasty after that. Two years ago, when I did the Top 10 songs of 2014, I caught absolute holy hell for posting that kind of material to FR.

[yarddog]

“Life’s Railway to Heaven” was my Father’s favorite song. I think he preferred the Johnny Cash version.

[left that other site]

I remember that!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! And a Happy New Year’s Eve Eve to you as well. Wishing you a fantastic 2017.

[Publius]

Here's the original from the movie.
