In Apple Blossom Time

Unless one is an old fogey, or a student of Big Band (C'est moi!), very few would know or bat an eye that today, 29 March, is American composer Albert Von Tilzer's 127th birthday. Some of the music he wrote have embedded in our cultural consciousness, and we don't even know it.

Don't be surprised if you have heard of at least one or both of these Von Tilzer songs: I'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time; Take Me Out to the Ball Game

If you have heard of neither, then you are in luck. I have posted the "...Apple Blossom Time" on Lenvoi's Musical Moment web site.

Be warned. This song is "really" old (recorded in 1956) and sounds mushy to the Zits generation. It may not be your bottle of jolt (as oppose to your grandpa's cup of Joe). Perhaps you might want to invite your older loved ones to listen along and do some bonding all the while.
