Lotte Lenya is lost in the stars

It has been a week, less than that, actually, of lifting off this planet and venturing through the cosmos.  The transit of Venus across the face of the sun, the passing of Ray Bradbury.  I knew the words but not the context of this song.

Beth - Remembering bits of the song, looking for Frank Sinatra's version, I found Lotte Lenya and the whole back story. We never know where a day will take us. xo

Denise - Your comment did not turn up here at the blog, but I received notice by email. Thank you for reading about the source of the show and the song, especially as this was not something you would have picked. Most generous. xo
