A bit of escapism

We started watching a DVD of selections from Not Only But Also - Dudley Moore's and Peter Cook's sketch show from the mid-1960's - for the John Lennon guest shots. We stayed for the "Dud and Pete", the genesis of the "Leaping Sisters of St Beryl" (later to be featured in Bedazzled), the poetry (yes, really), and the jazz music.

Dudley Moore was an accomplished pianist with his own jazz trio, and this charming duet with singer Marian Montgomery is a diversion I sorely needed today.

Jazz singer Marian Montgomery was a few months older than Dudley Moore; they both died in 2002 - within a few months of each other.
