Paul Cezanne: "I could paint for a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing."

Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."

    Indeed it is, Scot!

    But here are a couple of my personal Crosby-Lang faves that didn't make the cut...

    *****

    "I Kiss Your Hand, Madame"

    Dig Lang's sublime harmony with Bing's vocal. (BTW, that's not Venuti on violin, though a pretty good imitation... alas, I can't presently remember the guy's name...)



    ****

    "Paradise"

    Less is more! Oh, what Lang can do with just a few simple chords when the rest of the orchestra falls silent...
