"How Are Things in Glocca Morra?"
from: Bostonpatriot, 1/17/2014, 6:59:03: Years ago I heard an interview on NPR with either Burton Lane or his co-writer, E.Y. Harburg. Included was a version of "How are Things in Glocca Morra?" - not performed by one of the cast members of any of the shows, but by a woman whose name I don't remember. It was one of the most moving performances of any song I've ever heard. Any chance you could help me locate the recording?
- Response from CS Ed., 1/19/2014: Here is a link to an NPR story from 10/29/2009 titled "'Finian's Rainbow' Arcs Over Broadway Again" that includes an audio clip from "How Are Things in Glocca Morra" by an unidentified singer. Don't know if this is what you are referring to: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114294754
