HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Doris Day. Many people think of her as the legendary actress of stage and screen, from Hitchcock films to musicals to TV shows. Other people think of her primarily as an extremely good singer due to her many hit songs (650+ recordings between 1947 to 1967)—I do at least 3 of her songs in my care home set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouj5QAG3PPs  ...Then a few people in my orbit know her as the mother of Terry Melcher, her work with animal rights activism, and for running a dog hotel in Carmel. She passed away not long ago at age 97. What a life! Here’s my cover of her first hit record, “Sentimental Journey.” It went to #1 in 1945 and her career took off from there. Meanwhile, HB Doris—thank you for your light.

song of the day John Coltrane”My Favorite Things”

one of the greatest Musicians ever

and a Man who truly took his instrument

and gave it a voice with so much force, power

and poetic nature

and wrapped it all together as one. he took this Pop standard

and truly made it his own and he gave it such a voice through his sax

that you never forgot the notes

and how the tone just felt so strong

and direct.

John  Coltrane musically always took

your mind

Cher singing “My Funny Valentine” on her T.V.  show, “The Sonny and Cher Show” . Her success at singing this and a few other standards lead to the album “Bittersweet White Light” (1973), one of my favorite albums of hers, but one of her least successful.
