From the ridiculous to the sublime. Hat's off to Google, which is saluting Ella Fitzgerald today on the 96th anniversary of her birth with one of their Google Doodles. There's nothing flamboyant about it, just a nice graphic and some good links, but if you were planning to do a Google search anytime soon, today's the day to it.
I love Ella Fitzgerald's work, and even got to see her live on stage in an intimate setting at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, when I was but a kidling on an American Youth Hostel bike trip. In honor of her birthday, here's a song from the lady. It's from my favorite of her "songbook" collection, this The Rodgers and Hart Songbook.

I saw her at Tivoli too, back in 1969 when I was just out of high school traveling around Europe. Nice show. Saw the Kinks there earlier in the day.

Ella Fitzgerald, the Kinks, Tivoli Gardens all in one day. Well, I'd say that that does a nice job encapsulating how special Tivoli is...! Leave a Reply. |
