花鳥風月を撮りつづけると季節の移り変わりがわかるかも
でも風を撮るのはむつかしいので花鳥虫月だという噂も・・・

歌詞カードなんかないので
聞き書きですから
違っているかもしれませんが
こんな歌詞。


 I'm hurrying home to you
 I'm through with me and lonely
 I'm hurrying home to you
 Don't you know you're my woman only
 Fast, fast travelling fast, dear
 And the quarrels of the past will keep in the past there

 I want to be in your arms
 Where I can hug and kiss you
 I want to be in your arms
 'Want to show you the way I miss you
 Fast, fast travelling fast, dear
 And have you close to own the one I'm thinking about
 

この辺り
サビばっかりで
耳について離れません。

June Christyは女ですが
歌っているのは
男のこころの仲直り切望ソング
ですね。

このアルバムのレビューです。

She's always great; here the band matches her, July 30, 1999

Of all the vocalists to have come out of the big band era, June Christy has always been one of my favorites. After she left Stan Kenton and went solo, she recorded a wealth of great music, and we are fortunate that so much of her repertoire has been reissued recently. Unfortunately, as a big band fan, I can't say that I have always been thrilled with the arrangements Pete Rugolo used in many of her Capitol albums. Too often, he would overuse the trombones to the near exclusion of the reeds. Now don't get me wrong; I think a trombone chorus behind a female singer can create a great contrast (and my brother plays symphonic trombone), but many of those recordings seem to be missing an element of the big band sound. Not so with this album, which has solid arrangements with a full band sound and outstanding sidemen. Except for "Prelude to a Kiss", which does lose a little of the intimacy that June had in the duet version with Kenton, none of these tunes are the common ones she recorded with other bands. I believe that this is the only vocal version of Charlie Barnet's "Skyliner" that I have ever heard, and I also enjoy Jimmy Dorsey's "Time Was". My complaint: many of the cuts are too short, particularly "Swingin' on Nothin'" and "Frenesi".

オオバコ(大葉子、車前草とも)=【Plantago asiatica】

生活型:多年草

花色:白色、淡緑色

花は穂の下から咲いていきます。
花びら(花冠裂片)は小形で目立ちません。

和名の大葉子は葉が大きいことから
漢名の車前草は踏まれて固くなった道路のわだち跡
に沿って生えるから。

待恋といへるこころを

 君待つと閨へも入らぬまきの戸に
 いたくな更けそ山の端の月
