Re: [Finale] Gershwin Tomayto/tomahto

[Mariposa Symphony Orchestra]

Wow -- I can't believe the legs on this thread....   Ironically (or not) - and yes, this was for real: just this past Saturday night I MC'd a partisan political event; while I was doing a particular litany of current-names-in-the-news patter, spontaneously threw in a chunk of the song, using "Tom-ah-to, De-Lay-to...."   .....and such small portions.   Best,   Les Les Marsden Founding Music Director and Conductor, The Mariposa Symphony Orchestra Music and Mariposa?  Ahhhhh, Paradise!!!   http://arts-mariposa.org/symphony.html http://www.sierratel.com/mcf/nprc/mso.htm http://www.geocities.com/~jbenz/lesbio.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Prain To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 6:02 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] Gershwin Tomayto/tomahto This was done as a sketch in the first of the British Amnesty comedy concerts, "A poke in the eye with a sharp stick" in 1976.   One person sang the song with no difference between the words, then said, "I'm sorry, I don't see the problem" (or something like).   Very funny when I first heard it. Alas, while I was in London at the time, I neglected/forgot to go to the concert.   Not sure if it's ever been reissued on CD, but it's a very funny LP.   Frank
