COLE PORTER

KISS ME, KATE

HERMANN PREY & CHERYL STUDER: “WUNDERBAR”

Europeans classify American musicals in the same category as opera, and even Mozart and Beethoven wrote singspiele where songs were interspersed with spoken dialogue. Two giants of opera and art song (lieder) tackled this waltz in 1981. Sung in German.

Lucky you. We have Bermuda and crab grasses here and AH-CHOO! Dang the luck y’all having something as bad a s ragweed in the spring. That stuff wears me out every fall.
We have a weed coming up now called henbit and it’s all over the farm. But hey, it’s something green, not drab brown! And it does have pretty little flowers when you look at them up close.

The one thing that has kept me from ever wanting to move to the west is the lack of greenery. The desert has its own beauty but I’d be so depressed without all the green and colors we have here. Just the few months of winter are bad enough.

ROTFLMAO!! Silly kitteh!
I hope no one sat on him accidentally.

HOWARD KEEL & KATHRYN GRAYSON: “SO IN LOVE”

This may be Cole’s masterpiece, and for sheer beauty there is nothing like it in his output. He sets it in a dark minor key, but in a breathtaking moment he resolves it in the major. This clip is from the 1953 MGM musical.

Believe me, I’ve lived here for YEARS and I still get depressed when the summer heat burns everything to a crisp because people don’t want to either waste water or money on watering plants. During our horrible drought of about 3 years ago, so many trees and bushes died that it was just sad!

Nearly made my eyes water when you mentioned the Bermuda and crab grass! I had never esperienced ragweed till we went to Missouri last fall. Holy ah-choo, Batman! That stuff is potent!

FRANK SINATRA: “SO IN LOVE”

This is early Frank from the Forties and the Axel Stordahl era.

Frank Sinatra: “So in Love”

In 1963 Frank teamed with Keely Smith to work it up as a duet. That’s Nelson Riddle backing them up.

Keely Smith & Frank Sinatra: “So in Love”

Tune in tomorrow night for more Cole Porter and the Great American Songbook.

Thanks, Publius, for even more GREAT tunes from Cole Porter. simply amazing the length and breadth of his talent. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv, and thank you for spinning tunes for the troops. ((HUGS))

[luvie]

Howdy, Kathy! (((hugs)))

It’s great to be able to do this for our brave troops...and our FRiends in the Canteen!

Thank YOU for all you do...for them AND for us! You work so hard!

[radu]

That drought was a bad one, for sure, and I felt for everyone, especially the ranchers and farmers.

You don’t have ragweed? I thought that pestilence grew everywhere. LOL!
Whatever has my allergies fired up sure is potent. Maybe because we haven’t had all that much of a winter.
