Ben Bernie's Orchestra - Crying For The Carolines, 1929

[artfried]

I wish someone would put up some music from Ben Bernie's iconic radio show of the 30s and 40s. He had a great theme song, "It's a Lonesome Old Town When You're Not Around," covered by Frank Sinatra in the 50s.

Whoever uses this song to relate to the Kennedy family; you know, the sister (codename: CBK-1) of the late JFK Jr. and his wife (codename: CBK-2), also deceased?

This is excellent: wonderful version of the old song and images to match.

Wonderful alternate version for the one I posted, thank you!

My kind of jazz--and not melancholic at all. Great saxophone, my 2nd most favorite instrument. Don't know why I get a fleeting sense of Minnie the Moocher here. Didn't know she visited the Carolinas.

Are you kidding? This song is way melancholy!

"Big town.. you robbed me of every joy I used to know.."

I would like to see someone perform this song on '70s keyboards such as the Moog MiniMoog, the Wurlitzer EP-200, the Hammond B-3, and the Yamaha CS-80

Indeed! I sensed it was a very special tree.

I have a lot of Ben Bernie records but none is as good as the ones you're posting. This is the best arrangement of this tune I've heard.

Exception is Glad Rag Doll which I do have.

Now this is really good jazz. What a SENSATIONAL song. Great singing. Love the picture of the tree enveloped by the tranquil fog.

Excellent! 10 stars **********
