A few years ago I was at work listening to some public radio station and they were playing Joplin's Summertime. It was nummy. A few moments later, they announced "you guessed it; that was Summertime, sung by the one and only Janis Joplin." Then they started playing Summertime again, but an instrumental "Yup, you guessed it, that was Summertime, this time by... (someone else)." They played at least THREE HOURS of Summertime, with no two renditions the same. :)
I quite enjoyed it, though I can't help but wonder if the DJ got fired. :P
Re: Porgy and bess is an amazing set...
Yeah, that's a really good one, too!
