MEMORIES OF WEBSTER BOOTH AND ANNE ZIEGLER




I am creating podcast to commemorate the anniversaries of the births and deaths of Webster Booth and Anne Ziegler. As Webster's death and Anne's birth occur on 21st and 22nd June, I will probably do a combined podcast on that date. This means that there will be three podcasts a year for as long as I can manage to do them.

Tomorrow is the eleventh anniversary of Anne's death on 13th October 2003. The playlist for this podcast is as follows:



Léhar Medley 1, Webster Booth and Anne Ziegler, with orchestra conducted by Mark Lubbock, 20 December 1950 HMV C4125

Waltz Song from Merrie England (Edward German) Anne Ziegler. Private recording, Knysna (circa 1968)

Morning (Oley Speaks) Webster Booth, accompanied by Gerald Moore. Recorded in 1940 HMV B9071
