Song of the Day: 'Whistling Away the Dark' from 'Darling Lili'

written by henry mancini for the film 'darling lili' the under appreciated julie andrews and rock hudson 1970 vehicle. julie's performance was also underestimated and under appreciated at the time of it's release. perhaps it still is.

'stars are blind'. ok ok it's paris hilton. give me a break. it's a good song....

'Song of the Day': "Unexpected Song"

'unexpected song' by lloyd webber from "song and dance". this song has a bucketfull of memories for me. his hebrew name was meir but more commonly called mathew. he will always be meir to me and this song will always be 'our' song.

here's idina menzel in lieu of bernadette peters. i could not take ms. peters two days in a row. once a year is actually more than enough.

Song of the Day: 'You Can't Hurry Love'

'you can't hurry love' is a classic. a motown classic that has expanded well beyond it's origins. it's always been a favorite of mine and seems to constantly roll around in that music depot in my brain. i just love this song in all it's incarnations enjoy.

combined with 'two hearts'

Song of the Day: "Hurricane"

dylan is a genius musically and lyrically. i know his vocals can put some people off lol. but he was one of the master musicians of the last century...may he continue to reign supreme.

dylan's 'hurricane' is a masterpiece combining music, lyrics and social enlightment in a single brilliant work of art.
