Just playing some vintage LPs I got last week, one is an album of movie music by Alfred Newman ( Randy Newman's father ) and bless me but the album starts with the fanfare of 20th Century Fox, it appears Newman wrote it!! I was not expecting to hear that .
The album also has a booklet with "movie stills", I like the one of swashbuckling pirate Tyrone Power. ๐น
fun fact, he was also the poster boy for MAD magazine :P
the name but not the face ๐ค
now I'm playing a Child's Garden Of Frieberg. The Weird Al of the 50s and 60s. Frieberg parodying Elvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INt48fr_ZYc
Omg a friend of mine in high school had the Any Requests album and we used to love the John and Marsha song, among others. A great talent.
He was. ๐
Last two albums. Segovia plays Bach, maybe I just don't like his guitar but I prefer Williams or Julian Bream playing Bach.
And the Maya guitar music went in the bin, it sounded like the worst musak.
