Billy Murray - College Life (1906)
Переглядів 1,7 тис.2 роки тому

Chronicling the antics of college students in the early 20th century, it amazes me how many of these behaviors can still be observed in modern college students, like staying up all night, playing ...

      I never really thought of the Beach Boys being anything other than a California Surfer/Gearhead/Teenage longings band. But, looking back I now see the genius of Brian Wilson and the musicmanship of the group. Pet Sounds was their "Sgt. Pepper's"...their Magnus Opus. Good music, good band.

    My Dad bought a Decca set of Al Jolson songs. My two favorite songs in the album were Rosie You Are My Posie. Heard it years later as background music in film Big Hand For The Little Lady starring Joanne Woodard. The next time I heard the begging of the song was when I watched a British show costaring the remarkable Anthony Valentine who was singing it to Rosie the secretary. And I suspect it's because my birthday's in May that I fell in love with April Showers. Now I want to make a comment about a scene in Downton Abby. There is a nightclub scene where the singer should have gotten the hook. He invested nothing of himself except that he was on key. Anyone whose heard Judy Garland,Bing Crosby,Dean Martin AND Al Jolson sing this song has to sing with gentle and soft emotion. I'll cut the actor some slack. There was evidently no one on the show to coach him and or they had probably never heard of the song.
