How many of you remember Grazing in the Grass and Love or Let Me be Lonely by The Friends of Distinction? I once had an employee, 15 years younger than me, and we would sing these songs out loud.

Come Wander with Me – The Twilight Zone

Come Wander With Me - The Twilight Zone

One of my favorite television shows of the past was The Twilight Zone. I passed this love onto my husband and daughter. Rod Serling was a creative genius but even when other writers contributed stories, The Twilight Zone created haunting memories. The last episode to ever be filmed was Come Wander with Me. It is about a singer looking for ... Read More »

Sherry’s Cherries: Sweet Surrender – Lite Rock

Sherry's Cherries Radio Show

When my daughter was a little girl, I would drive her and her friends to dance class. Some classes were during the day and others were in the evening.

Sherry’s Cherries: Two By Two

Sherry's Cherries Radio Show

I recently read a review of Richard Rodger’s prolific career and it indeed it was prolific. Composer Rodgers created music with Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein and all alone, with his last musical, No Strings. The review said that Rodgers was a genius, which he was and that Lorenz Hart, or Larry as I think of him, was a talented amateur. ... Read More »

I am still in love.  George Gershwin was a genius. When he left this world in 1937, at age 38, ... Read More »

Sherry’s Cherries: Heart and Soul

Sherry's Cherries Radio Show

My fondness for Lorenz Hart goes back a long way. He’s one of the first people I’d hug when I cross over. (The other two are Judy Garland and Stephen Sondheim.) Our next Sherry’s Cherries pays tribute to some of the songs that I could not live without. You’ll hear voices like Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé, Carly Simon, Ella Fitzgerald, ... Read More »

Sherry’s Cherries: Sunday Will Never Be The Same

Candyland Love Shack

Please join us for a new tribute to lite rock. As a teenager, in the age of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, I was caught in a time warp. I was hooked on the music of Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Rodgers and Hart and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, and others. But through the years, I did ... Read More »

Sherry’s Cherries: And The Melody Lingers On

Melody Lingers On

You know what it’s like, you hear a song and the melody lingers on long after the song is finished. Most of us have heard the expression: Dance as if no one is watching and sing as if no one is listening. Many years ago my husband had seen the movie, The Days of Wine and Roses. He liked the ...
