I Like New York In June: Brooklyn Botanical Gardens


The first of a new series. 6/1/08 was a really beautiful day. Many of the pics are raw material for several panoramas to follow. I might as well start with the best version, Sinatra's with Nelson Riddle
The song is from the movie musical Babes on Broadway (1941) and has music by Burton Lane and lyrics by Ralph Freed.
I like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.
I like potato chips, moonlight motor trips, how about you?
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And James Durante's looks give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show, when all the lights are low
May not be new, but I like it, how about you?

A questionable link to Knickerbocker? This version includes Jimmy Durante of Catherine Street. I'm not the type to be awestruck by nature, but it really saddened me to think of those who are no longer with us who certainly would have.
