I'm enjoying the mini-series Michael Feinstein's American Songbook on PBS. Mr. Feinstein is an inveterate collector of sheet music and other artifacts that chronicle American popular music, particularly in the area of show tunes. He's also pretty good at playing and singing show tunes and there's some of that in the series…but there's also a lot about his collection and goodies from that collection.
Lyricist Johnny Mercer and tunesmith Henry Mancini wrote one of the most popular songs of their day when they composed "Moon River." Would you like to hear the demo they made with Mancini at the piano and Mercer singing the words he wrote? Well, thanks to Feinstein's diligent detective work, you can.
