"Just around the corner there's a rainbow in the sky - so let's have another cup of coffee and let's have another piece of pie." This song lyric was written by Irving Berlin in 1932 to cheer up the populace during the dark days of the depression. As the Dow tanked this week I also sought solace in music to heal a bruised portfolio and retreated to my man-cave listening to Dinah Washington's rendition of MANHATTAN with a flute background which is always soothing. Then I rediscovered Benny Goodman's quartet with Lionel Hampton on vibes floating thru AVALON and MOONGLOW. They don't DO music like that anymore. But that appearance of a rainbow usually signifies that the storm is over.
