Show 28: Columbus Day/Thanksgiving

Songs originally planned for a Columbus Day show last month that I never got around to doing... Here they are just in time for Thanksgiving (well, for listeners in the US at least).

Some amazing stuff from a Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin work tape that I’ve been forcing on others for years... but I don’t think anyone finds the lyrics as clever as I do. Plus, a great track (well, maybe you need to have an Italian-American background to appreciate this one) by Lou Monte.

These artists all have “official” websites, by the way: Kurt Weill, Ira Gershwin, Lou Monte.
