ASK BK

Since you have recorded a couple of Christmas Albums (Broadway Christmas & Hollywood Christmas)

What is your favorite Christmas Song from each of the collections or a favorite that wasn't on the collections?

Laura DR - my theory on the Handel mishap: Some organs, even real pipe organs [and not those electronic "appliances"] have a transposing dial. Purists consider this "cheating." In any case, my theory is that as the organist was adjusting the registration in that final moment before the final 'Hallelujah' cadence, he/she accidentally hit the transposing control dial. Why they didn't realize what had happened and correct the error until the final seconds is anyone's guess.

My favorite song from Hollywood is "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and there are two versions.

While looking up the original sadder/depressing lyrics

I found out a couple of interesting things;

There is Garland's original version and it was revised for Frank Sinatra in 1957.

BTW BK recorded the song twice with the original lyrics and on Guy Haines' version he reprised the last verse with the alternate lyric line

Although it is credited to Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane it was actually written by just Martin

Here are the original lyrics

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, it may be your last,
Next year we may all be living in the past
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, pop that champagne cork,
Next year we will all be living in New York.
No good times like the olden days, happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who were dear to us, will be near to us no more.
But at least we all will be together, if the Fates allow,
From now on we'll have to muddle through somehow.
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

I wonder if anyone ever recorded these lyrics?

JUDY GARLAND VERSION
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

FRANK SINATRA VERSION
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Wednesday morning greetings! It's Confection Day II here in our household. Baking is a nice thing to do when you've been awakened by sleet and freezing rain hitting the windows.

All last week the song, "It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary" was going through my head. I'm trying to figure out if that meant Mary Poppins or the Virgin Mary. I don't think of the Virgin Mary as being particularly jolly. Is anyone in the Bible jolly?

Today is a glorious day. I received an email from Western Union that tells me that United Nations representative John Booma will be sending me $5000 per day until a total of $1.2 million has been placed in my account.

Of course I will be the same simple person I am today - just much richer and no one will be able to talk to me because my email and telephone number and address will all be changed.

My guess is that unless the Human H1N1 is banned by IP number, she will be back under another alias.
