"When earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it --lie down for an aeon or two. Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew..." ~Rudyard Kipling~
Today, 9 June, is Cole Porter's 114 birthday.
Recently, I came across a showing of a recent release of "De-Lovely" (2004) on the telly. A biopic of sorts on the songwriter Porter with Kevin Kline as the lead. I didn't finish watching the flick, because the singing was so bad. I like the Cary Grant's version in "Night and Day" (1946) much more.
I will upload some Porter tunes on the next few sessions of L'Envoi Music Selection.

I found this site, amazed that I listened those anonymous and familiar jazz songs before were composed by Cole Porter!
