Lady be Good

I’m finally getting to processing some of the video recorded over 2020. Back in the summer (remember summer?) we put on a couple of backyard concerts.

This song features Chris Alfano on clarinet, Greg Runions on vibes, Paul Clifford on bass and Rich Bannard on drums playing “Lady be Good”

Sicilian Mariners’ Hymn

This week we bring you a carol I hadn’t hear before – the Sicilian Mariner’s Hymn. which, according to tradition, Sicilian seamen ended each day on their ships by singing this hymn in unison.

The tune was associated with the German Christmas carol “O du Frohliche, O du Selige.” and also appears to have had an influence on the African American song “We Shall Overcome.” (https://hymnary.org/tune/sicilian_mariners)
