Frankie Lanaro Organ Trio: Moon River

One of our favorite ballads. Moon River was written by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer.
It was originally performed by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
The lyrics are reminiscent of Mercer's childhood in Savannah, Georgia, including its waterways. As a child, he had picked huckleberries in summer, and he connected them with a carefree childhood and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.

Bellissima versione di uno dei brani che più amo al mondo.
Il solo di chitarra è struggente e arriva dritto dove deve arrivare.
You nailed it guys. Thanks for the vibes

Thank you moneybagzzz! Do we know each other? I am just curious

[@johnpayne3134]

Very nicely done. Johnny Mercer's gravesite is beautiful. It's in the famous Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah. His grave site has a bench where you can sit overlooking the also beautiful Wilmington River. In the evenings you can't help thinking you are looking at Moon River.
He use to like to read Savannah's shipping news listing all the ships departing with their destinations. His favorite was about a departing boat, Starship Explorer leaving tomorrow, destination unknown.

Complimenti a tutti (anche per la ottima atmosfera della ripresa video). Aggiungo che che al minuto 2.12 ci sono degli arpeggi di chitarra da 'storia della Musica'. Davvero un super trio... grazie
