CLASSIC HOUR ~

 



KOBAYASHI ISSA ~





Under cherry trees

there are

no strangers





    Mother I never knew,

every time I see the ocean,

    every time —





    Full moon;

my ramshackle hut

    is what it is.

BRENDA LEE ~

 



Recorded and originally issued (mostly unnoticed) for the 1958 holiday season before Brenda’s career had taken off, this track was reissued toward the end of her break-out year of 1960 and has been with us ever since.
