HAPPY BIRTHDAY: WILLIAM BOLCOM
Award-winning American composer William Bolcom’s birthday was yesterday, actually, but we were so delighted with Zoë Lewis’ guest appearance, we decided to pay a brief tribute to him today.
Sad news, Bolcom/Morris’ album of George and Ira Gershwin songs is not available on Spotify or YouTube, but you can purchase it on Amazon.com:
Check out the lyrics for William Bolcom’s song ‘Lime Jell-O Marshmallow Cottage Cheese Surprise’ (Genius)
