A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
This morning some friends took me to the de Young Museum to see the Venetian Masters, and I especially liked Titian's Danae and Jupiter--with his coming to impregnate her in the form of golden coins! We ate at Lavash, a beautiful restaurant where a wedding party also had lunch, and in addition to the scrumptious dishes, I got cranberry chutney, persimmons, figs, and oranges from Sandy and from Tom (not present except in present) a CD on which he'd put our picture of Berkeley Square and the music Jonathan played on Mom's birthday. The CD has Frank Sinatra, Chita Rivera, and Bobby Darin singing "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and Roger Kellaway playing it. I'm so touched by how friends are making Mom's dream come true. I wrote Tom that if she is, in fact, an angel dining at the Ritz, she'll sing right along with Sinatra, Rivera, and Darin--accompanied by Kellaway.
