With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

December 6, 2021: Makin' The Scene for Irene
Filling in for Irene this week - with a double birthday melange: Bob Cooper, husband of June Christy, and multi-multi instrumentalist and - may we say a beautiful cat? Meow, if you think so too. And furthermore... Ira Gershwin gets a little b-day love today - his greatest hits performed by a wide array of great ones - including Bob Cooper!
