THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

GEORGE GERSHWIN

ROSALIE

This was a 1928 show with songs by both the Gershwin brothers and Sigmund Romberg, best known for “The Student Prince.” It ran for a year and then was pretty much forgotten.

But one song earned immortality, and I’ll be devoting the rest of the weekend to it. In it you’ll hear hints of the blues, and you’ll understand why this song became a favorite of jazz musicians.

AUDREY HEPBURN: “HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?”

The 1957 MGM film “Funny Face” had a number of interpolations of Gershwin songs from other shows, as well as an entirely new plot. This clip from the movie has Audrey actually singing and not dubbed by Marni Nixon.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

GEORGE GERSHWIN

ROSALIE

ELLA FITZGERALD: “HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?”

This recording from 1957 features Frank DeVol as arranger and conductor. Frank would write a lot of scores for movies in the Fifties and Sixties, and even play the deadpan contractor in the ABC cult series “I’m Dickens, He’s Fenster” in 1961.

Ella Fitzgerald: “How Long Has This Been Going On?” (1957)

Ella loved this song, and this was how she and Nelson Riddle imagined it in 1959. It’s just Ella and a piano, totally intimate.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[Kathy in Alaska]

I will be trying to rest and relax....we will be starting 24 hour caed hopefully starting with the night shift on Monday evening.

Mom fell out of bed (?), just fell, she doesn’t know, but about 3:30a I was awoken by the Medical Alert box alarm and then, Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! I was able to tell them, when they spoke, that we had things under control. She doesn’t know how long she was on the floor, but thank goodness she still knows to push the button. Had to call Karma again.

I already had an appointment this afternoon to see about “day” care, but my sis and I decided that this night stuff can’t continue. She just cannot be alone, even at night. I need sleep and I can’t get her to call me when she needs to get up. I’ve been up since 3:30a. I’m thinking I need a pad on the floor that bongs when feet touch it.

Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

Many Thanks To Alfa6 For Finding Capt. Lefon's Chronicle Of "The Empty Chair."

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

GEORGE GERSHWIN

ROSALIE

LOUIS ARMSTRONG: “HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?”

In 1957, Louie went into the studio with Oscar Peterson, Nelson Riddle and a number of great jazz sidemen. Ol’ Satchmo’s singing style was unique, and this track shows him in intimate jazz form.

Louis Armstrong: “How Long Has This Been Going On?”

RIP, hero!

[radu]

Glad to hear you went ahead with the 24-hour care. It’s time since she’s falling day and night. I’ve been worried you’d hurt yourself getting her up even with Karma’s help.
Less stress during the day at work and you’ll be able to sleep for a change! WOOHOO!

You’ve gone above and beyond for your mom and it’s time to take a break and let someone else do the heavy lifting.
Time for some YOU time. :-)
