"  The Heather on the Hill " Today, on a blustery Toronto spring day,I spied a bunch of heather for sale at my local high-end emporium. I started singing to myself the song The Heather On The Hill.It was from lerner & loewe's BRIGADOON.The movies starred Gene Kelly & Cyd Charisse as star-crossed lovers in a make-believe land set in Scotland.
Now my pink heather plant is in our window sill looking out on our private garden enclave. The plant prompted me to post this lovely song sung by Gene Kelly.
 I will also post an instrumental version with George Shearing , arranged and conducted by Robert Farnon. He was a Toronto musician who found fame and fortune in Great Britain as a major composer and arranger of light,classical music.
