Noël Coward

As each year of my life passes, I recognize more and more how much my spirit resonates with the music of Sir Noël Coward. I never tire of his songs, and seem to just have finished learning one when there I am off to another. My Coward repertoire, and the enjoyment thereof, have grown so much of late that I have decided to record my performances of some of these wonderful songs and share them with the world. I will not attempt to duplicate Coward's inimitable style, amazing vibrato, and British accent, but "rawther" to just present them, depending on the song, with the same spirit of wry or satirical humor, humid romantic feeling, or jaded ennui that Coward served up.

Since I have no intention whatever to make any profit off of these performances, and since better, definitive performances of these songs are easily available, I am relatively sure that there is no copyright violation here.

I hope to expand this page into a full section of my website as the catalog of Coward performances grows.
