Скачать или смотреть A Bird in a Gilded Cage - Arthur J. Lamb/Harry Von Tilzer - cover version by Craig Morrison

A Bird in a Gilded Cage by Arthur J. Lamb/Harry Von Tilzer as performed by Craig Morrison on January 13, 2021 at Montreal's Legendary Wheel Club.

“A Bird in a Gilded Cage” was a smash hit in 1900. Harry Von Tilzer also wrote the music for two other songs I remember hearing my father sing: “Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie” (1905) and “I Want a Girl (Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad)” (1911).

In the mid-1970s, with my mom (the girl that married dear old dad), I attended a performance of the husband and wife duo of pianist William Bolcom and mezzo-soprano Joan Morris at the University of Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) while I was a student in the Music Department. I then bought a copy of their 1974 album, After the Ball: A Treasury of Turn-Of-The-Century Popular Songs, which contained “A Bird in a Gilded Cage” as well as “Wait ‘Till the Sun Shine, Nellie.”
