And Now, for your listening pleasure...
|
|
One of my all-time favourites for your edification and enjoyment...
|
|
|
|
Songs you've probably heard
a hundred times before,
in arrangements that you've
probably never EVER heard before. |
|
| Be
it ever so humble, your TV set has blared out its fair share of highly groovy
greats, memorialised here and now for your listening pleasure... |

To
this day my parents claim no responsibility whatsoever for what many consider
to be my rather odd preferences in music. I say they haven't got a leg to
stand on because I would never have watched The Lawrence Welk Show if they
hadn't sat me in front of it at an early, impressionable age. |

This section goes out to all of the others out there (and I know there were
a sizable number of you) who, like me, learned a suburban definition of
the word "Exotic" by watching Annaconnie singing in Spanish, played "safari"
in the living room while Les Baxter music played in the background, who knew
Thurl Ravenscrofft's voice like it belonged to a long-lost Uncle you'd never
met, and who'd had the "Wanna Be Like You Scat" by Phil Harris and Louis
Prima memorized for years before they had any idea who Louis Prima or Phil
Harris might have been. |

Robert Mitchum sang on an album, once. |
| Lee
Marvin, The Three Stooges, Olliver Reed, The Cast of Hogan's Heroes, Marlon
Brando, Molly Ringwald, Lorne Greene & Walter Brennan did too.
So did Maya Angelou,
Clint Eastwood, Billy Van, Jack Nicholson, Cybill Shepard, Sylvester Stalone,
Tony Perkins, Burt Reynolds & Richard Chamberlain.

That's pretty good company to be in, when you think about it ... |

Oh... |
|
|
Just shut up and dance... |
