I just listened to Exploring Music, with Bill McLaughlin, on WQXR. The show was about classical music inspired by Shakespeare. The last piece was the suite from Laurence Olivier's 1944 movie of Henry V, music by William Walton. Great stuff. And if you haven't seen that movie, it's just wonderful.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Lawrence Welk is the King. (Elvis is just the Prince)

You have good taste!

Have you heard the Fletcher Henderson version of "Until Today"?
It's very good .... very, very good too!

When I was a kid, and all my buddies wanted a girl like Brittany Spears, I wanted one like Loretta Lynn

My God.... one day I will learn about hard core country music...for the time being, it just ... baffles me?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

You're missing out! Well, I shouldn't say that. I was raised on it and can relate to it, so I like it, but it's not for everybody.

[The Good]

Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley. This is one one of my favorites.

[Shangas]

Artie Shaw and His Orchestra

"Gloomy Sunday".

I love this song, but I'm hankering for an instrumental-only version. Does anyone know if such a thing was ever recorded?

 

[BinkieBaumont]

Monica Lewis she looks like Ruth Ellis and sounds like Dinah Shore

I've listened to this song about fifty times in a row and I still ain't tired of it.

[Fletch]

the wearin' o' the green (label)

James Morrison, fiddler from Co. Sligo, recording in New York in 1926.

Columbia captured quite an array of Irish music on its -F (foreign) series in the '20s - all of which, no matter the country, bore the green label.

I agree!! But it's also quite unusual for a Dutch girl to know about the country stars from the 40's and 50's.
I wish that I could emigrate to the US...oh dreams....

Right now, Wanda Jackson! (Fiddlin Kate in the background!!)
