10 January 2014

In the past two day of this Year of Durante...


...I've managed to get my hands on cd copies of both Jimmy Durante's 1965 collaboration with Gordon Jenkins, Jimmy Durante's Way of Life



and his 1967 inspirational collection Songs for Sunday (although the cd has 20 songs instead of the 10 on the original lp).


And, while I confess to enjoying fully the Schnozzola's approach to songs, I must admit, with the latter album, that I can't help but be expectin' a "ha-cha-cha" -- even in the midst of "Precious Lord."

Year of Jimmy Durante: 1/6/2014

 

A little background on the making of Frosty the Snowman from the producer.

03 January 2014

2014 is, I have declared,...


a) the "Year of Jimmy Durante" (follow on Twitter at #YearOfJimmyDurante)

Jan 1st: The Blanks' "Ballad of Jimmy Durante"

Jan 2nd: The Song's Gotta Come from the Heart

Jan 3rd: Frosty The Snowman

 


and

b) the year that I'm going to track the number of times the website Xfinity.com thinks an actress in a swimsuit is newsworthy.  (Follow on Twitter at #_____WowsInBikini")

Thus far, only three days into 2014, Charlize Theron and Jane Seymour have been spotted!

 


Ah, a big year ahead, no?
