The moving Moon went up the sky, And nowhere did abide; Softly she was going up And a star or two beside - - From 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 – 1834) The expression 'Once in a Bl ue Moon' means 'infrequently' or 'rarely' and originally referred to a second full moon in the same calendar month. December 2009 is a Blue Moon month so we can anticipate another...

In my search for rare vinyl - in record shops, boot sales and charity shops - I come across the good, the bad and the ugly. These days I tend to buy anything that looks interesting, as long as the price is right, which means I sometimes land up with crap, but sometimes hit pay dirt (like Ronnie Self's Bop-a-lena which I featured a few weeks ago). From time to time I intend to feature some of these...

http://www.mediafire.com/?kjt2znzymwk A gem from Julie London -- a dreamy album of Cole Porter tunes, and one that has her singing with small group backing, very much in the mode of some of her best early work for the Liberty label! Recordings taken from mostly the 60’s.

A trio of Movie Tie-ins.Five Golden Hours, based on the screenplay by Hans Wilhelm (Digit R469, Apr 1961)'Mourners are lavish spenders. Most of those we lay to rest here sleep well above their means,' remarks Aldo Brondi (Ernie Kovacs), professional undertaker and pallbearer as he gazes fondly across the cemetery. And his words give the key to the most off beat—and one of the most

A " torch song " from the 1950s, first made famous by Julie London. Sung here by a performer who just came to the public's attention this past year.

If you'd rather hear a 25-y.o. Barbra Streisand perform...

A commenter a few posts back hipped me to Julie London, whom I had of course heard of, but not often heard.

She died in 2000. The style of singing that emphasized intepretation of lyrics nearly died along with that...
