Music Monday
I misspoke yesterday. Today is another “your choice” week; parody is next week. Steve Lawrence passed away on March 7 at the age of 88. He earned fame both as a solo artist and as part of a duo with his wife, Eydie Gorme. She passed away in 2013. As I mentioned on a recent Saturday 9 , my late mother-in-law claimed kinship with Eydie. She always told us that she and Eydie were cousins. Both were Sephardic Jews from the Bronx. Steve Lawrence was as Ashkenazi Jew from Brooklyn. So let’s salute the music of Steve and Eydie.
