Hit the Road to Dreamland & Come Rain or Come Shine. Two songs by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The first is from a 1944 movie. The second from the musical St. Louis Woman. Dreamland uses very hip language like " Dig You In The Land Of Nod". Come Rain or Come Shine is filled with a fervent pledge of commitment no matter what trouble may come along. These songs, quite different in tone and style, illustrate the great versatility of both Arlen and Mercer.
Nancy Lamott is a favourite NYC cabaret singer.
