I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud...
Or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way,
That it might as well be spring ....
New York City jazz singer Lauren Henderson romps thru a forgotten Rogers & Hammerstein standard, with Glenn Zalesky at the piano.
With five albums behind her, Lauren's at NYC's Birdland in May.
Song: Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II
(From the 1945 musical State Fair, their only original film score.)
Dick Haymes was the first recording, same year.
