September Song - Walter Huston...Long Version @3sistersrwe

Kate Harpham This is the longer version of September Song. The singer is Walter Huston who was somewhat limited in range but for whom composer Kurt Weill and lyricist Maxwell Anderson wrote this specially. The song originally appeared in the Broadway show 'Knickerbocker Holiday' in 1938. According to the sleeve notes of 'Mack The Knife - Songs of Kurt Weill' this version was recorded in 1938 and 1944. For me it's the definitive version...nobody puts the same longing and melancholy into it as Walter Huston.
Enjoy!!!

For those who ask, Vanda was my younger sister. She died from complications of Type 1 diabetes. This was played at her funeral as she was a September baby. If you take nothing else from this, just understand that diabetes is a killer.
