Hardback. Condition: Good. Famous American, chorus leader, showman, glee club pioneer, golf tournament host, and entrepreneur. Fred Waring was all of these and more, an enigma who held together a major musical organization for sixty-seven years, a man at ease on stage but loathe to sit through meetings, a man so earnest in his patriotism that by the 1980s he was considered almost an endangered species. Virginia Waring, his wife of thirty years, chronicles both his many achievements and his shortcomings with candor and affection in Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians. Her gracefully written biography traces Waring's childhood in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, his rise to fame as a bandleader, development and promotion of the Waring Blendor(r), leadership of Shawnee Press, concert tours, radio and television programs, and his legacy of the highest possible standards in music as in life. This intimate portrait of an American legend is accompanied by a compact disc with twenty-eight selections recorded by the Pennsylvanians over a forty-year period. They range from Adam Geibel and Tom Waring's Sleep, recorded in 1928, through Cole Porter's Love for Sale, Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach's Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, the traditional Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child and Dry Bones, to Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson's September Song and Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's Some Enchanted Evening.…

Some black and white photo reproductions. Virginia Waring (aka Virginia Morley) was part of one-half of a famous two-piano team, along with her then husband, Livingston Gearhart (1916-1996). The two Americans studied in Paris. They met in 1937 while students of Nadia Boulanger and Robert Casadesus and they gave their debut performance in February 1939. They then embarked on a mini-tour of Europe before the outbreak of War forced them to return to America. They married in 1940 and played at supper clubs, broadcast on Fred Waring's show on NBC (initially wary of the idea, but the publicity was huge). Trans-continental American tours and command performances followed, as did a raft of recordings but after their divorce in 1953 the musical partnership also dissolved. This book focuses on Virginia's life as a young musician in Paris, through series of letters written to her mother and wonderfully captures life in Paris just before the outbreak of World War II. [From the back cover] In 1937, Fleischmann Yeast heiress, Mrs. Cristian Holmes was listening to a radio concert in her New York apartment of a young female pianist that a friend told her about. Impressed with what she heard, steamship fare and tuition fees were sent for her to study at the renowned music school, Fontainebleau. Letters from Fontainebleau are a rare and historical excerpts of letters written of a young woman's dream of becoming a concert pianist and her travels from a small town in post-depression California to a life of dreams and endless possibilities in pre-World War II, Paris.…
