Kathy Geary wears her Grand Central Watch essential top as she DJs Now and Then, which airs from 3-4 p.m. EST each Saturday on WJFF Radio, a hydropowered station operating out of Jeffersonville, NY. In addition to her show, which highlights the past and recent contributions of singer-songwriters, aficionados know her for her commanding soprano performances at the Delaware Valley Opera and other venues worldwide and cabaret performances in NYC and Upstate New York. Entertainment Plus Creations followers have heard her on the piano accompanying tenor Kevin Hanek as he sang the Kol Nidre, a sacred Jewish prayer, as part of the Al Jolson Project. Grand Central Watch is one of the paintings produced during the lifetime of artist Judith Carlson-DeAngelo, who left behind a great body of evocative work when she passed on in 2015. You can buy this top and other items (tops, tote bags, and even a surrealistic pillow) derived from this work by visiting Judith’s VIDA Design Collection page. Also look for these artistic items on April 1 (no foolin’), when they will be offered as premiums for WJFF’s Spring Fund Drive.

The Al Jolson Project – I’m Just Wild About Harry

Posted on February 17, 2017 by Ed Zwirn

I’m Just Wild About Harry is a song written in 1921 with lyrics by Noble Sissle and music by Eubie Blake for the Broadway show Shuffle Along. “I’m Just Wild About Harry” was the most popular number of the production, which was the first financially successful Broadway play to have African-American writers and an all African-American cast. The song broke what had been a taboo against musical and stage depictions of romantic love between African-Americans.
