Trip to NYC









It's been awhile since we've posted last. The start of 2009 has been a bit busy. We're pleased to announce that the most downloaded Christmas album is awarded to Christmas Joy, Melachrino and his Orchestra. There must be a great deal of folks that still love that real rich orchestral sounds for the holidays.
Today's post is inspired by a trip to the city yesterday to see In The Heights. If you have an opportunity to see it, we encourage you to make the effort. The performance was extremely exciting with a great sense of humor.
Here is Norrie Paramore from 1957 with some wonderful string renditions of tunes associated with New York City. The arrangements with an added beautiful female voice whisk you away to city of excitement in a gentle way.
(I appologize for my laziness. I hit the scanner on the label and did not go back to re-do it.)
Enjoy!
