Head on over to Coldfront where since July 2011, Jackie Clark has been curating the brilliant "Song of the Week" series. Clark invites contributors to write a short piece about a favorite song, any song, and you might be surprised by the choices. David Lehman kicks things off for what will be a sequence of BAP bloggers. Can you guess David's song from his opening lines?:
I remember the first time I heard it. Jo Stafford sang it in Dark Passage, a
late 1940s black-and-white movie in which you don’t see the face of the
hero, a prison escapee who had been framed for murder, until a
risk-taking surgeon reconstructs his visage and Humphrey Bogart emerges
from the bandages.
What would be your song of the week?
