Just come back from a fab weekend in Northern Ireland, what fantastic beaches and dales. Went into a really old pub in Port Stewart and listened to some live Irish music. When I say listen, you didn't have much choice, the decibel din was off the scale. What with the music and my half pint of Guinness, I enjoyed the craic!
More vinyl to CD tonight with a magical 1952 recording called ELLA & ELLIS. The smooth voice and perfect phrasing of Ella Fitzgerald and the sophisticated piano playing of Ellis Larkins. With the track listing below you just can't go wrong. It's perfect in everyway and the LP was in excellent nic except for 2 tracks.
How romantic are these titles eh? Plus I don't think anyone [Not even Sinatra] sings Someone To Watch Over Me as good as Ella.
