Bought another 2 songs from Soundbuzz

Just bought another 2 songs from the "Michael Feinstein sings the Hugh Martin Songbook" album: "The Two of Us" and "Finale Janette/When Does This Feeling Go Away?". The first song "The Two of Us" is actually a duet with Hugh Martin himself.....

I tried searching for this album but could not find it in any of the major music store...perhaps michael feinstein is not very popular here and the album was released in 1995 that is why it couldn't be found in S'pore.

Initially i did not want to buy the songs from soundbuzz becoz it can only be played on the computer which the files were downloaded but i can't stop myself from doing so. The songs by Hugh Martin are so perky and witty and Michael Feinstein delievered a fine rendition of his songs.

Listening to Hugh Martin songs made me realise something, apart from Andrew Lloyd Webber, there are many composers/lyricist out there who write brilliant musicals. However, sad to say, our local exposure to musicals are very limited and what we get to hear and buy is restricted to those by andrew lloyd webber and to some extent the more popular Rodger's and Hammerstein musicals such as Sound of Music, The King and I.

Hopefully, the musical genre,like jazz, can one day gain popularity and foothold with the general masses....
