I’m sure Tiffany told you that you look great and she can see the difference.




Attention Whoring

Nice song about maybe love/happiness coming around for a second chance. You probably need to be 40+ or even 50+ to enjoy the melancholy of this one. As we are old farts, this is one of Our Songs.

Music by the amazing pianist and composer Marian McPartland, who played here in her 85th birthday tribute; lyrics by Johnny Mercer; sung by Karrin Allyson, who was sick and OT in best voice but turned up anyway.



Twilight world
Over the China sea
Sing me a melody
From ages ago

In a twilight world
Watching the sampans pass
I fill a frosty glass
As lanterns burn low

Life is a changing panorama
Love is a dancing butterfly
Catch them both while we may
Come to Spain or Cathay
I don’t want to miss that will o’ the wisp
Passing by

Life is holding out a twilight world
Don’t let it slip away
Come take it while we may
Make it begin

Let’s find our twilight world
Before the night sets in

She was 85 singing that?

Coloring my wife’s hair, wish me luck.

Wtf

 

[Orangeredblooded]

I’m embarrassed to say, I’ve never heard that before and enjoyed it. It’s saved.

This will sound weird, but she doesn't sound 85 singing. I was impressed.

I loved it. Usually this time of year is when I listen to jazz, blues and 60’s and 70’s soul music. Winter is for Classical.

 

[VolNExile]

She was 85 singing that?

No, she was a pianist (and composer.) That’s her playing piano, and Karrin Allyson with a vicious cold singing.

This is from a 2-volume tribute to her on her 85th birthday. She was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s dementia and passed away 5 or so years later. She had a great radio program on NPR for many years called “Piano Jazz” where she would invite another jazz talent as a guest and they would improvise through the hour. RIP.

Love it......But I am a big fan of Jazz anyway...

Thank you for introducing me to her.

I got my hair cut last Tuesday, first time since early January 4 inches gone. I had told Hubs I’d be doing this, but he still got that weird Guy Thing where he was terrified to comment, including saying the nuclear “you look different.” I took pity on him Wednesday evening and asked what he thought. I’ve never seen anyone that relieved in my life for something other than a negative pregnancy test.

Ha Ha

Hey have you heard Diane Schuur sing, she is a Great Jazz singer.........

 

[VolNExile]

There’s a story about getting the lyrics set to the music. She had written the tune, and had the feel for the gentle love and melancholy sweetness, but no words. Johnny Mercer (Savannah, GA; lyricist of “Moon River” and so many more) had heard the tune and wanted to write the lyrics. He came to her apartment with his mom in tow, an alarming elderly Southern Lady draped in minks (we’ve all known these, right??), and they cut the deal, with Mrs. Mercer silently hovering in the background.

Note: back then, if you were a composer, writing beautiful tunes, but only tunes, and Johnny Mercer stuck his head in the door, this would be a lot like being a 16-year-old QB from West Nowhere HS, and you come back home after practice to find Saban, Dabo, and (of course) Pruitt sitting around the kitchen table, wanting to have a chat.

This is so sweet.........Orleans played at the Possibilities Gala in 2013 with the Perkins school for the blind
and one of the students sang the lead......

Love her, and love Diana Krall (aka Mrs Elvis Costello) and Elaine Elias.



If I ever get to have a tiny sailboat, I will name it “O Barquinho” and sail around Lake Lure until I run out of wind and have to beg a tow. Here is Elaine Elias, another jazz pianist and vocalist:

You know when Dusty Springfield recorded "The Look of Love" in 1967, they said that she had the sexiest voice on the Radio....
