And a Bonus Track: Rest in Power, Gerry Marsden

Gerry Marsden, of Gerry and the Pacemakers, passed away yesterday. Here is my favorite of their songs, “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying.”

Bonus Track: “Ding Dong”

Happy 2021!

Bonus Track: “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve”

Hi, everyone. What other song could we offer up for the day but this one? Please enjoy Seth MacFarlane’s beautiful performance of this 1947 Frank Loesser tune.

Bonus Track: “Violets for Your Furs”

Hi, everyone. This song features during a crucial scene in my award-winning novel, In The Eye of The Storm. Please enjoy Billie Holiday’s recording of this lovely tune.

Bonus Track: “St. Stephen’s Day Murders”

Hello, everyone. December 26 is the Feast of St. Stephen. You’ve heard it referenced in the traditional carol, “Good King Wenceslas.”

This song was a great favorite of my late friend, Ruth. She used to hold a St. Stephen’s Day open house on the Saturday after Christmas, whether or not it was really St. Stephen’s Day. She would always play The Chieftains’ “Bells of Dublin” album in the background, and this song featured heavily in the rotation. I have written about this before.

Please enjoy this version of “St. Stephen’s Day Murders” by Thea Gilmore.
