Well, I just located the sheet music for "Talking to Myself about You," with Peggy on the cover. I'm happy about that!]]> Iv Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Sat, 20 Apr 2013 00:34:54 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,14752#msg-14752 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,14752#msg-14752
Letting you know that I have a black and white copy of 'I'm Gonna Go Fishin' with Anatomy of a Murder movie promotional poster on cover. If you still need it I can send it to you. I don't need to keep it since it has no pix of Peggy.

Regards,

Much appreciation,

I imagine that there are still a few more qualifying pieces of sheet music that I haven't seen yet. In fact, I'm currently looking for an image of this one:

I'm Gonna Go Fishin' (front cover has Anatomy of Murder poster ad)

Next: I'm fully moving on to some technical matters that need to be fixed in the discography. The photo pages are so filled with images that they take up too much time to download, and many impatient viewers probably give up. I'll be working on reducing the size and footprint of all the images, so that the pages can download more quickly. And I might also change the way the written text looks; instead of running from one margin of the page to the other, it will cut in the middle of the page.

After those technical matters have been completed, I'll be entering radio performances (Bing Crosby Show, etc.) as well as TV and concert ones.

As usual, all of this is just to keep fellow fans informed of the discography's progress; thanks for reading!]]> Iv Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:37:04 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,14467#msg-14467 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,14467#msg-14467

Other than the radio shows that she herself hosted, this is Peggy's most important body of radio work, in my opinion. Granted that she sang more numbers for Bing Crosby's radio show, in that program she was just the show's singer. And she was not part of Bing's show on a permanent, weekly basis, anyway. With Jimmy, she was the show's singer and also an integral member of the cast (regularly participating in the comedy routines) for one full solid season.

What else? ... Oh yes, I have reeeeally gone overboard. This page is dense with text and photos. Two reasons:

1. Since Peggy participated in the banter each week, I decided to quote her parts in the scripts of every episode.

2. Originally, this page was expected to contain only text, no photos at all ... Then I said to myself, well, maybe I'll include just 1 photo at the top of the page and one at the end. Before I knew it, I was searching for and adding pictures for every broadcast. So much for sobriety and self-control! But dealing with photos is enjoyable.

Anyway, I'm happy that I have finally begun working on Peggy's radio and TV work, after years of planning to do so. (Instead, there have been detours to other material that I had not originally envisioned to cover, such as the bunch of album photo pages that took about a year to put together.)

You seem to be getting a lot of thanks on this page and, man, you deserve it! Thanks for taking the time to create and maintain the Peggy Lee Discography. I use it often and appreciate it greatly.

Having sought out discographical information on other artists (Anita O'Day, June Christy, Carmen McRae, Mel Torme and many others), I have often been disappointed to find that these big leaguers have either no online discographies or that the existent online discographies are grossly incomplete. (Heck, when I wanted some information on June Christy's transcriptions, I had to seek you out on this site! By the way, I know you are busy, so please take your time on it; there is absolutely no hurry.)

In any case, all this is just to say that what you have created is very helpful and I am one more person who is grateful. Thanks again!]]> TonyW Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:33:16 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,12481#msg-12481 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,12481#msg-12481
The notes are visually a problem, in that they overwhelm the eye, and make the page look awfully dense, but I'll stand by them. Better dense and overwhelming than bare and boring... I guess! :P

Anyway, here is the real good news for those of us who are interested in Peggy's complete discography: now that the Capitol pages are finished, I can move on the more arcane stuff, such as the songs she did on radio broadcasts, on television, film, etc. I can't wait!

I'm currently working on my update of the Capitol pages. I've started by trying to locate alternate takes that have been released. I think we have about a dozen of them.

A friend told me once about an alternate take of "Spinnin' Wheel." He believes he heard it in either an 8-track of the album or on a LP compilation. Can anyone add to his recollection?

I've long been wanting to put together something like this. Available information from that early period has been plenty, but it's often been given in a rather disorganized fashion. (In those years, Peggy moved around a lot, from one town or city to another, and then yet another.) I've tried to put the information in chronological order.]]> Iv Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Sat, 26 Apr 2008 01:31:46 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,11586#msg-11586 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,10980,11586#msg-11586

However when it comes to Peggy Lee's Discography and Sessionography by Ivan, words like "outstanding" and "exemplary" jump to mind. How blessed we PL fans are; and - in my case, awed by the dedication to ongoing thoroughness.

This is truly a remarkable work of excellence and I can't sing Ivan's praises enough for it!

I'll bet even your garbage is neatly ordered. I'm amazed at the detail in your Decca discography.

You mention that Peggy had two arrangements of Where Can I Go Without You in her library. I noticed that the two recordings are in two different keys. The Decca cut is in E-flat; the later Capitol recording is in C.

Perhaps the Capitol producer (was it Dave Cavanaugh?) wanted the more "sultry", late night Lee sound, more in keeping for the Mink Jazz mood.

Ron

PS: I had to check this out just now to be sure and now Please Don't Rush Me is playing (one of my favorites).

have just spent a couple of hours looking through the Decca period!

What an amazingly detailed job you have done - incredibly complex and detailed.

Well done and thanks for ALL the hard work.

The Marks & Spencer CD "THE COLLECTION" does have the version of "Autumn In Rome" contained without the birds, I have that CD and checked again.

Thanks Iv?n for all the work.

I have used it so much and also recommended it to others from time to time, and do not hesitate to do so AGAIN!

We can only imagine the time and devotion you continue to put into this project and I just wonder where you get all this information, let alone find the time. I would write a personal thank you if only Earthlink would stop blocking me!

Let me say to everyone, please consult the discography for your queries BEFORE asking a question. Not only will you almost certainly get the answer, but you will find a lot more fantastic detail as well. I promise!

So for now Ivan, thank you, thank you.

Michael, thanks also for the very gentle correction. Sarah indeed recorded her version for Mercury, and that error is now fixed.

I have already moved to the update of another section.
