Sherry’s Cherries – Language of Love

Sherry's Cherries Radio Show

Two of my favorite people and artists of the past are Lorenz Hart and Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec.

Although Rodgers achieved monumental success in musical theater with Oscar Hammerstein, his partnership with Larry Hart was actually longer. He and Larry ... Read More »

I love Johnny Mathis. My mother loved Johnny Mathis. We owned the 45 rpm of Chances Are. I grew up with Johnny’s 45’s, 78’s (albums), tapes and discs.

Frank Sinatra’s I Have Dreamed from The Concert Sinatra, taken from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I  is an all-time favorite.
