Skipping all the way to Sunday, not because I want to wish away my weekend but because there’s a concert I’ve long looked forward to: Vocalist Christine Rosholt, a woman of excellent taste who was once a featured reader in our magazine (sorry, no link; it’s not online), is leading a tribute to Harold Arlen, the fellow most famous for writing Dorothy’s showstopper, Somewhere Over The Rainbow. I read this fascinating profile of Arlen in the New Yorker a while back, and I’ve been awfully curious about him ever since. How helpful it will be to have his life’s work sang out before me.
