Alabama Song (1927)
Kurt Weill, lyrics by Bertolt Brecht

Henriette Serline Schenk, soprano
Paul Prenen, piano

The paintings used are by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha


Oh, show us the way to the next whiskey bar!
Oh don't ask why,
Oh don't ask why!
For we must find the next whiskey bar
For if we don't find the next whiskey bar,
I tell you we must die!

Oh moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mamma
And must have whiskey
Oh, you know why.

Oh show us the way to the next pretty boy!
Oh don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why!
For we must find the next pretty boy
For if we don't find the next pretty boy
I tell you we must die!

Oh moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have boys
Oh, you know why.

Oh show us the way to the next little dollar!
Oh don't ask why,
oh don't ask why!
For we must find the next little dollar
For if we don't find the next little dollar
I tell you we must die!

Oh moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have dollars
Oh, you know why.

    очень хорошая идея! Я как-то раньше об этом не задумывалась... А как это делается и кому надо посылать, как вы считаете?

  • @henrietteschenk Oi ne dumayu. Ya uverena, chto eto vse zasluga Leontiva:-). Ya vot uzhe pochti 2 goda tak starayus' nashamanit i raskrutit' Spanosa, stol'ko emu posylala positive energy i vozmozhnym promoters, i poka vse nikak ne poluchaetsya:-)... Navernoe, nado bol'she starat'sya, tol'ko ya ne znayu, kak. U menya net vliyatel'nykh druzei v muzykal'nom mire...

  • @henrietteschenk By the way, there are first-rate artists who promote themselves on YT by sending people their videos. I think it's a very good idea. Some people are very arrogant and think that all the best are already promoted, and those who do it themselves are worse. Absolute BS! I discovered for myself wonderful singers like Svetlana Feodulova, Dmitriy Kostenko, Vladimir Catana... Only on YT discovered our great tenor Denis Korolev who wasn't promoted but it's not the same as GREATNESS.

  • @serenaluce

    :-) А, может, это у вас самой открылись способности шаманские ненароком)))

  • @henrietteschenk Da, konechno, spokoinoi nochi! Do svyazi. Mne samoi nado opyat' mysli po povodu Spanosa sobrat':-). Ya napishu, a vy otvetite, kogda smozhete:-). U nas nedavno tozhe takaya zhara byla. A mne posovetovali poslushat' video Leontieva "Polet kondora", chto eto indeiskii chant,chtoby vyzvat' dozhd', chto chasto pomogaet:-). Nu, znaete, dozh' poshel ne srazu, no vot poslushala, ochen' khotela, chtoby pokholodalo, tak bystro podul veter, i stalo prokhladno:-). Mozhet i vam pomozhet:-).

  • @henrietteschenk Zdorovo:-)

  • @serenaluce

    Яночка, спасибо за чудесный чат, пойду все-таки упаду... Тут такая жара стоит последние дни утомительная...До связи! и еще надо Спаноса обсудить, но уже со свежей головой))

  • @serenaluce

    понятно... у меня почти та же история - общение с профессионалами. Учусь у Генриетты пению - как аматер, конечно, но так это здорово! И хоры она маленькие с нами организует, даже концертики даем, народу нравится))

  • @henrietteschenk Da, lyubov', samoe glavnoe:-)Net, professional'no ya s muzykoi ne svyazana, tol'ko obshayus' s professionalami. Tol'ko u menya ushi khoroshie:-). Bylo kogda-to khoroshee muzykal'noe obrazovanie, no ne zakonchennoe:-). V detstve pela v khore, no dlya menya eto byla pytka, t.k. vechno bolelo gorlo:-). S tekh por ya predpochitayu slushat' tekh, kto eto delaet luchshe menya, i u kotorykh net problem s gorlom:-)...Mne tozhe priznavalis', chto v Rossii vsegda chto-to proiskhodit:-)...

  • @serenaluce

    ой... ну, главное - все равно любовь!))). И вы как-то связаны с музыкой профессионально? У вас такие well-informed opinions )).

    Да, правда, им скучновато потом бывает, они мне признавались, особенно голландцы))
