Album Favorite

"True, other Elsa Lanchester albums have her husband Charles Laughton introducing each track, but only this one has both "When a Lady Has a Piazza" and "If You Peek in My Gazebo." Lanchester, most famous for playing the Bride of Frankenstein (technically, the bride of Frankenstein's monster) and Laughton's wife in Witness For The Prosecution, has an actor's voice, with perfect stage-Cockney enunci-OY-tion, which is perfect for this material. "Please sell no more drink to my father. It makes him so strange and so wild. Heed the prayer of my heart-broken mother, and pity the poor drunkard's child." She sings this with such relish, it's easy to see whose side she's really on. "

To honor the memory William Goldman, who passed away yesterday, I just updated my #bookreview of his most wonderful novel “The Princess Bride,” which is one of my all-time favorite books, and one which deserves far more than just 5/5 stars! https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/05/16/prepare-to-die-laughing/
