ReplyDeletethanks; right now it's grapefruit league spring training ball in clearwater FLA. we will see what happens when the REAL season begins!
DeleteI like your answers and - yes - I will respond....but I'll probably respond later rather than sooner. I'm slow.
ReplyDeleteAs for "Rhapsody in Blue" - - I made a recording of Gershwin's original piano solo version, which I performed when I lived in California. It's about 15 minutes long. Unfortunately my only copy is on a cassette. I plan on transferring it to cd.
ooooooooooooooh, THAT I would love to hear! I thought you would dig my classical pieces!
DeleteI am humbled :-)

DeleteComing late to this one, must register my approval of your including the Gershwin concerto, much overlooked in favour of his Rhapsody, which itself is so good, but everyone knows that anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Gold and Silver Waltz' is also my favourite waltz (if one can have such a thing). The melody of its first strain in particular is heart-touchingly beautiful.
Could say a lot more but I'll confine myself to saying that I too utterly LOATHE the film of 'Grease'. Pity that several of the songs are good, but are better when they are played/sung as separate items taken out of their context. As for the film itself - and its 'message' that for a girl to get a man she's just got to act in the way that HE wants - YUK!
never late, raybeard. if I didn't play along, spo would wonder about me. and you know me - upfront and honest.
Deletelate to respond, but delighted to do so; thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeletealways, dear spo, always!
