Beyond

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, …

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 …

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 …

I’m often asked what my favorite song is. Oh my! Would that be Broadway, movie soundtracks or pop music. I actually have hundreds of favorites.  Sherry’s Cherries new show will present some of these personal favs. When I was 17 and a student at NYU, I bought my first Carmen McRae album, Second to None.

I was 19 years old and a student at New York University. One day while walking on 8th Street, I came across a record store (remember those?). That’s when I discovered Carmen McRae and I fell in love with her music. When I was older and CDs came out, I tried to buy a CD of Carmen’s album, Second to …

My generation was the one of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Steely Dan, Moody Blues, etc. I love that music and have a lot of it, but my heart belongs to the generation that came before me. I love the movie musicals from the 1930s and I also love the big band era. When I think of this music I …

Moonlight always feels right to me because I am a night person. When the sun goes down, I go up. The best part of my day is night. In my art room, my spirits soar while listening to this music. So, on the next Sherry’s Cherries, we are going a little “beyond” into the world of light rock of the …

Way back . . . when I was a child I fell in love with TV themes. Wagon Train was on every Wednesday night and I so looked forward to the show and the theme song. Robert Horton, who played Flint McCullough, was the lookout for the wagon train and I remember thinking “golly, he’s cute”, and I was only …
