Friday's Freebie Musical Discovery: Abe Burrows:
Dmitri Gheorgheni, Post Editor Started conversation Jun 27, 2014
Today's musical discovery - because I've just stumbled across him, and I'm listening, and wiping the tears out of my eyes - is Mr Abe Burrows, aka Abram Solman Borowitz (1910-1985).
Burrows won a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize, but I don't think it was for these songs.
Nonetheless, I think you'll enjoy 'The Pansy in My Garden' and 'The Stationery Song', as well as the French parody that had me choking.
A little laughter at the piano, is all it is, but it's fun for young and old, no lie.
So thanks a million to the kind soul who copied his records onto the old interweb. Enjoy.

Do not miss 'The Gypsy Violin Song'. It's amazing.

Hi Dmitri! I listened to one song as well... I wish my internet access was better because I'd like to listen to them all!

There's a song in there somewhere.
I enjoyed the song (when) I listened to you. You are the song I am listening to.
Is there another Friday Freebie tomorrow?

Urgent delivery of the Friday Freebie! That's what I like to hear.
Can't wait for this evening, when I'm back on laptop.
