No real theme today. I just played a lot of stuff I hadn't played before, a couple requests, and some songs to remember some late great musical theatre performers.

I played:

" Blue skies " performed by Measha Bruggergosman and the Jive Kings

" That's a very interesting question/ I'd like to be a rose " from Two Gentlemen of Verona

" Our love is here to stay " as performed by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong from the album Ella & Louis do Gershwin

" Younger than springtime " performed by Mandy Patinkin, from South Pacific

" Monotonous " performed by Eartha Kitt from New Faces of 1952. by request

" A Little Priest " from Sweeney Todd, by request

" Complainte de la serveuse automate " from Starmania, by request

" Pineapple Rag " from the soundtrack of The Sting

" The life I lead " from the soundtrack of Mary Poppins, in memory of David Tomlinson

" Those were the good old days " from Damn Yankees, in memory of Ray Walston

" These foolish things remind me of you " performed by Sarah Vaughan from The best of Ken Burns jazz
