Lally was a mercurial figure.He had lapses of what now would be called cronic fatigue so often unwell.He hated Hitler so much that offered his to head mission to assassinate him.The home office turned him down and in a depressive mood he one day threw himself under a tube train and that was the end of his short but brilliant life

Great images, great old song. Exactly what most of us in America need right now: 'bye, 'bye blues...

I love the posters you have chosen for this slow Jazz Delight! Grezegorz, I don't suppose I could have that beautiful car in the first picture? :-) I can visualize myself driving on the winding roads of the British countryside from Manorhouse to Manorhouse ala "Gosford Park."
