Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue".
This is the 100th anniversary of Gershwin's "A Rhapsody in Blue" (completedJanuary 1924). First performance, February 12,1924 in NYC.
At the premiere, the clarinetist played the famous clarinet intro with a long sliding glissando followed by a husky laughing sound, which Gershwin didn't intend. But immediately after hearing it, Gershwin told the soloist to always to do it that way.
In the audience that night were Victor Herbert, Walter Damrosch, Igor Stravinsky, Fritz Kreisler, Leopold Stokowski, and John Philip Sousa.
Conducting the orchestra was Paul Whiteman, known as the "King of Jazz". But Whiteman actually never conducted real jazz!

I recently watched echo in the canyon on showtime. A look back at the music from Laurel Canyon in 1966 - 67 (birth of the california sound). The Bryds, Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Mama and the Papas ... Had to buy a few CDs after that.

I have a habit of watching in series a number of versions of a particular song that has come to mind. Watched a bunch of Friend of the Devil the other day, one of which was video of the original Dead, with Ron McKernan. Google told me that he too is a member of the 27 Club. Further googling indicates that 2.2% of popular (whatever that meant to the compiler) musicians die at 56 (highest correspondence), while only 1.3 % die at 27. Spikes also occur at 25 and 32. So much for boomer mythology.

Mark Tremonti (guitarist for Creed) did an album of Sinatra covers with the sales benefitting a Downs Syndrome foundation.
Simply titled Tremonti Sings Sinatra.
Excellent production, very well executed vocals and wonderful arrangements. Well worth a listen (and purchase!)....
