OK.
I posted a bunch of versions of “Summertime” last week, and I’m returning to regularly scheduled programming this week. But first! 30 versions of “Summertime” for your downloading pleasure, including all the ones I featured this past week:
- Abstract Truth
- Al Green
- Anne Brown
Reblogged mostly so I remember to listen to this when I get a chance.
10,432 Sheep
Audra McDonald
Counting the Omer with Showtunes Day 32: “Ten Thousand, Four Hundred and Thirty-Two Sheep” from the film West Point Story, performed by Audra McDonald from the album Jule Styne in Hollywood.
The song was introduced by Doris Day. Her version is equally charming:

Cool, you edit jewishboston.com! I checked that out before I went down for a Say Anything concert last year. Israel Bookshop was immense. My regret was, I missed a talk about the holidays that Anita Diamant was putting on the first day I was in town by, like, two hours or something. Would move there, but visas and whatnot... oh, I'm Canadian, I should've explained that.
Anyway, thanks for the follow.
Nice to meet you!
It’s not impossible — my housemate (the famous @TheWanderingJew) is Canadian and managed to get sponsored for a visa… by a Jewish organization, no less. (He’s the managing editor of InterfaithFamily.com.) But it’s not easy, either. :)
