All different, all good. Thanks for another fine interlude.
Sterling – more like 24 karat !
Thanks
Ok Neo.
I tried to find the classic version of Fitzgerald’s, only to see that it has become “unavailable in your area”. Only so-so live club performance recordings appeared … Until that is, just as I was about to write the project off, I found the classic version with a bizarre video treatment overlay. Which is probably what accounted for its escape from deletion.
Thank you for such fine interpretations of a classic. I always feel there’s a sadness in it. Perhaps I’m imagining too much of Lorenz Hart putting his personal life and his feelings about himself into it. Or perhaps because many times it’s sung in a B minor key which “Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart (1739—1791) regarded . . . as a key expressing a quiet acceptance of fate and very gentle complain.” (Thank you, Wikipedia).
I also like the version sung by Margaret Whiting, but that may be because I’m impressed she married at the age of 70 the gay pornstar Jack Wrangler who was 43 at the time. Hmmmm, come to think of it, why am I impressed she married a gay pornstar?
I killed my elephant in April 2009. My Big Five. I never felt a need for anything other than killing for self defense or making meat. Or country. I paid to hunt leopard, but I had too much in common. My heart just wasn’t in it.
Yeah, the village headman got the prime cuts.
Neo, always yours, the anti-intellectual.
neo, if we are going to be honest, I have fed thousands of people.
OK, hundreds. I know I’ve fed hundreds.
I am a good hunter.
Funny ha-ha or funny weird?
