  1. On the 2nd of May 1895: #LorenzHart, American #lyricist ("I Could Write A Book"; "My Funny Valentine") and half of the Broadway musical team Rodgers and Hart, born in Harlem, New York (d. 1943).
    #HappyBirthday #RIP 🪦

  2. Finally got to see the film "Blue Moon" about the lyricist Lorenz Hart. Loved it as I think folk who like showtunes will..Before there was Rodgers and Hammerstein there was Rodgers and Hart. First came across his work going through the Ella Fitzgerald songbook albums. His work was so much funnier, biting and full of double meanings. Ethan Hawke is brilliant in the film, fair amount of ouch👌🎶

  19. 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."

  20. Musical Interlude: Here's a bit of dark fun. This is a number from the Rogers & Hart musical "A Connecticut Yankee," in which Morgan le Fay sings of how, rather than cheating on her husbands, she just killed them. It wasn't part of the original musical, but was added for a revival where the character was made more a comic anti-heroine.

    "To Keep My Love Alive," performed by Ella Fitzgerald.
