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 »

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

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 »
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 »

Classical music is timeless. Many films have used classical music to enhance their storytelling. Whenever people remember 2001: A Space Odyssey, one immediately thinks of Richard Strauss’ Sprach Zarathustra. Producer of Gone with the Wind, David O. Selznick used two of Claude Debussy’s pieces, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn, and The Girl With the Flaxen Hair in the ... Read More »
