"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~
If you know the song on the subject line, then you have heard of Al Dubin. He wrote the music to this song with lyricist Harry Warren.
Today, 10 June, is Dubin's 114 birthday. I'll upload some of his music also.

Did I miss it ?!

I haven't posted Al Dubin's songs yet, if that's what you meant.
Cole Porter's "In the Still of the Night" is still online.
I appreciate the musical selections and that you know how to put it on your blog.
Thank you both, Jennia and Carol, for listening and your kind words on the selections.
The last of Al Dubin's tune (for now) is online. It's a recording of Dick Powell singing "The Lullaby of Broadway" in the original 1933 "42nd Street."
The background picture with the "42nd St." marquee at the Ford Theater, NYC, was taken on November 2003. It cost me a leg and an arm to see this show. Then again, we are talking Broadway here. And tourists pay more to see the shows.
Loved that one too. I like to watch the old movie musicals.
I always wanted to go to New York to see a Broadway play.
You may be on to something here, L'Envoi, with a musical blog.
