Musical Interlude: This song came to mind today for no real reason, so I'm sharing it. I first heard it decades ago, in a small bookstore where they were playing show tunes for whatever reasons. Thankfully there was hardly anyone there; I found myself starting to strut, bump, and grind (subtly) in tune with this song, and it took me years to find out what it was and where I could find it....

"That Terrific Rainbow," performed by Barbara Ashley, from the Broadway show "Pal Joey."

Musical Interlude: Riding the DC Metro for the first time in, like, forever, was quite nostalgic. I used to take it every day to work, when I was a gov't contractor who worked a few blocks from the White House. Glad I don't work there anymore, to be honest.

But the experience of riding in the train amidst all the bustling commuters, brought this Sondheim tune to mind...

"City of Strangers," performed by Pamela Myers

Marx Makes Broadway by Dick Marx, released on Omega Disk in 1958.

In recent years, a young Chicago pianist —without ever leaving his native city— has become a subject for musicians’ backstage conversation from coast-to-coast.
His name is Dick Marx and "you ought to hear Dick" is almost a cliche now. But Marx cannot be enjoined to go out on a road trip. It was an unusual thing for him to accept Omega’s invitation to come to Los Angeles and make this stereo recording...
...On this date Dick’s friends are Buddy Collette, flute; Carson Smith, bass; Frankie Capp, drums; and Irving Ashby, guitar. On the five numbers you'll hear Red Mitchell on bass, and on three Howard Roberts replaces Ashby on guitar. *Ralph J. Gleason (liner notes)

I'm really glad that Judy at Carnegie Hall left in her little asides to the audience between songs because she's funny and very charming and self-effacing. I can see why a whole generation or two of gays fell in love with her.

Broadway, Bongos and Mr. B is a 1961 studio album by the American singer Billy Eckstine. It was arranged by Hal Mooney, and marked Eckstine's return to Roulette Records.[2] The album features Latin tinged arrangements of popular Broadway show tunes, with a percussion section of xylophones, marimbas and bongos.[3]

In their July 1961 review of Broadway, Bongos and Mr. B, Billboard magazine wrote that "This is one of the best albums made by Billy Eckstine in many years", and that he was "singing with confidence again in his own style". The review concluded that it was "A strong new album that could help win back many of Mr. B's fans". - Wikipedia

Musical Interlude: Here's a fun little bit of spring joy....this was composed as part of a musical revue, with wry commentary on the garish scenery that the singer was standing in front of!

"Something To Do with Spring," performed by Noel Coward.
