Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz 1997 Free Dance
Overture from High Society (1956) and Willow Weep for Me by Muzzy Marcellino.
“... one of the elements of ice dancing that they began is this hydroblading. Very unusual and very difficult move.”
#not even fred and ginger on ice. it’s fred and ginger in the clouds.#for all their being overscored. lesser difficulty. open handholds etc. over the years...#i really admire just how light and airy and easy their skating is (a quality that vm could capture really well like with mahler in 2010)#and it’s athletic without looking like it. they go down crazy low in the knees and bounce up with no effort at all.#and they own hydroblading thank you. of course the skate move that fucks the most began in ice dance.#ice dance#shae lynn bourne#victor kraatz#figure skating#hydroblading#high society#willow weep for me#muzzy marcellino#hydroblade#high society 1956

Muzzy Marcellino: Whistler for Hire
Maurice “Muzzy” Marcellino (1912-1997) was a singer, musician, big bandleader, and professional whistler.
We’ll obviously get to the latter accomplishment, it’s the most vaudevillian thing about him. But what interests me about Marcellino is that whistling wasn’t a specialty that he devoted his entire life to as a vaudevillian would. It was a sideline — he’d have rated a mention in any show…

Hello, quick question, where did you find the version of "Willow weep for me" from your last post:>
Fourth attempt trying to reply to this because tumblr really hates me today! Tumblr did not notify me about this ask at all and I don't get why. So sorry! I found it on YouTube.
The title was something like "1st RECORDING OF: Willow Weep For Me -Ted Fio Rito (1932--Muzzy Marcellino, vocal)"

On this date in 1968, HUGO MONTENEGRO, HIS ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS debuted at No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with the single THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (Feb 17, 1968)
Hugo Montenegro was an American composer and orchestra leader who began scoring films in the 1960s. After hearing the music from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, he decided to create a cover version of the theme.
Similar to Morricone's original composition, Montenegro and a few session musicians sought to recreate this record using their own instrumentation.
The opening two note segment was played on an ocarina by Art Smith; Morgan provided the sounds that followed on a harmonica. He was quoted as saying: "I knew it was live, so I had to do this hand thing, the 'wah-wah-wah' sound."
Hyatt's book states that Montenegro himself "grunted something which came out like 'rep, rup, rep, rup, rep'" between the chorus segments.
Other musicians heard on the record include Elliot Fisher (electric violin), Mannie Klein (piccolo trumpet) and Muzzy Marcellino, whose whistling is heard during the recording.
Much to the surprise of Montenegro and the musicians who worked with him, this cover of the film theme became a hit single during 1968. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 1 June 1968, held off the top spot by another song from a film, Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" (from the 1967 film The Graduate).
It spent three weeks atop the Billboard Easy Listening chart during the same time frame.
In September 1968, Montenegro's version reached the UK Singles Chart and began a steady climb, eventually reaching the top of the chart on 16 November and remaining there for four weeks.

Synopsis ~ Football player John Kent tags along as Huck Haines and the Wabash Indianians travel to an engagement in Paris, only to lose the gig immediately. John and company visit his aunt, owner of a posh fashion house run by her assistant, Stephanie. There they meet the singer Scharwenka (alias Huck's old friend Lizzie), who gets the band a job. Meanwhile, Madame Roberta passes away and leaves the business to John and he goes into partnership with Stephanie.
TRIVIA
Lucille Ball, who appears uncredited in this film as a fashion model, would later buy RKO, the studio that made this film. At the height of their success during “I Love Lucy”, she and Desi Arnaz purchased it and renamed it Desilu Studios.
Lucille Ball decided to try out for this film when she heard RKO was looking for girls who had worked as models at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. She had not actually been employed by Bergdorf, but had participated in a fashion show a promoter had put on there, so she applied and got the job.
The original 1933 Broadway production of Roberta featured Bob Hope and Fred MacMurray, both of whom played themselves on Lucille Ball sitcoms. Chorus member Leon Alton was a background artist on many episodes of “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy.”
A 24 year-old Lucille Ball, decked out in white-blonde hair, white furs and wearing a white gown, appears at 1:37:30 in the fashion show sequence. Lucille Ball originally had dialogue that was later deleted.
In the 1971 “Here's Lucy” episode “Ginger Rogers Comes to Tea” (HL S4;E11) Lucy adds a sugar cube to Ginger's tea for the title of each of her favorite films. When Lucy realizes she’s put six lumps of sugar in Ginger’s tea, Rogers says she only wanted Top Hat and Roberta (two lumps).
Clips of the film were included in “Hollywood the Golden Years: The RKO Story: A Woman's Lot” (July 17, 1987). Lucille Ball is also interviewed in the episode.
Fashion Shows were the subject of several Lucille Ball sitcoms: Lucy Ricardo models a Don Loper original; Lucy Carmichael did an impromptu fashion show in a restaurant to get close to Danny Kaye; Lucy Carter did the same thing to help out her daughter Kim, who got her first job at a fashion boutique.
Roberta earned Lucille Ball a promotion at RKO: from clothes horse to actress! Little did Maxine Jennings (red head) know Lucille Ball would eventually steel her thunder as a carrot top!
Some theatre managers took the bold step of offering patrons a money-back guarantee!

I like Sam but everything surrounding him tends to be extremely tragic and.. painful.
His favorite song--which lyrics aside is very pretty-- talks about someone who’s crying by the river, and kindly asks the moon to “Hide her starry light” so “None will find me sighing. Crying all alone“. I guess if you listen to the melody only, then... it’s fine. My favorite version is one Muzzy Marcellino’s one because it’s merely cheerful whistling.
The general idea that he’ll probably never be free from the Ink (not unless you count death as freedom which i would Rather Not), and if he does return to his human form, then he’ll have to deal with the realization that time has went on without him and that all his family and friends are hey how about we stop right there-
#we're not talking about how he genuinely gave everything to the ink demon. worshiped him. and ended up being betrayed by it#i mean insanity aside--that's gotta hurt#it's absurd to believe he will free them... but i suppose he just wants to believe there's still hope#hope that maybe one day things will be normal again#aeon speaks

Muzzy Marcellino - Willow Weep For Me

Guaraldi was born in San Francisco's North Beach area, a place that became very important to his blossoming musical career.[2] His last name changed to Guaraldi after his mother, Carmella (née Marcellino), divorced his biological father (whose last name was Dellaglio) and married Tony Guaraldi, who adopted the boy.[1] His maternal uncle was musician, singer, and whistler Muzzy Marcellino. He graduated from Lincoln High School, attended San Francisco State College, and served in the U.S. Army as a cook in the Korean War.
Guaraldi's first recording was made in November 1953 with Cal Tjader and was released early in 1954. The 10-inch LP was called The Cal Tjader Trio, and included "Chopsticks Mambo", "Vibra-Tharpe", and "Lullaby of the Leaves". By 1955, Guaraldi had his own trio with Eddie Duran and Dean Reilly. He then reunited with Tjader in June 1956 and was an integral part of two bands that the vibraphonist assembled. The first band played mainly straight jazz and included Al Torre (drums), Eugene Wright (bass) and Luis Kant (congas and bongos). The second band was formed in the spring of 1958 and included Al McKibbon (bass), Mongo Santamaría (congas and bongos) and Willie Bobo (drums and timbales). Reed men Paul Horn and Jose "Chombo" Silva were also added to the group for certain live performances and recordings.
While searching for music to accompany a planned Peanuts television documentary, Lee Mendelson (the producer of the special) heard a single version of "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" by Guaraldi's trio on the radio while traveling in a taxicab. Mendelson contacted Ralph J. Gleason, jazz columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, and was put in touch with Guaraldi. He proposed that Guaraldi score the upcoming Peanuts Christmas special, and Guaraldi enthusiastically took the job, performing a version of what became "Linus and Lucy" over the phone two weeks later. The soundtrack was recorded by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, with drummer Jerry Granelli and bassist Fred Marshall. Guaraldi went on to compose scores for seventeen Peanuts television specials, as well as the 1969 feature film A Boy Named Charlie Brown and the unaired television program of the same name. Guaraldi died at age 47 on February 6, 1976
