This totally does not belong here. I can not remember where I got it; it may even have been Value Village. Freddy Martin’s Greatest Hits, music from before our time period, but here it is, filling a hole between Tex Ritter and Hugo Winterhalter. That’s the thing, holes. So I’d have to find things to fill them. And voila! Freddy Martin. And there you go…Freddy Martin:
• Tonight We Love – This is the intro to Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto in B flat, stretched out and popified. This was from 1941.
• April In Portugal – Not to be confused with April In Paris
• Symphony – Does not sound like any symphony I recognize.
• Cumana
• Miss You – Not The Rolling Stones song.
• Warsaw Concerto – some kind of weird faux classical piece from 1941, written by Richard Addinsell, for some obscure film. Meant to sound like Rachmaninoff
• Bumble Boogie – The famous arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Flight Of The Bumble Bee. A hit much later for B Bumble & The Stingers.
• Intermezzo – Undoubtedly based on some classical piece or other, but it’s not familiar to me.
• Blue Champagne
• Laura – Laura was a real estate agent; her husband was my dentist for about a month. She didn’t even show us any houses though; she pawned us off on some flunky.
