HUNGRY GERALD

HG was musing (Musing is a favorite old age pastime) and thought about HG’s favorite female vocals, songs that keep dancing in HG’s head. Here they are in no particular order: Billie Holiday (“Strange Fruit”); Edith Piaf (“La Vie En Rose”); Nina Simone (“My baby just cares for me”); Bessie Smith (“Gimme A pigfoot”). And, Barbra Streisand’s comic masterpiece from “Funny Girl”: “Private Schwartz From Rockaway” with its delightful last line–“Is coming home General Schwartz”.
