We can’t promise the raft when we perform this beautiful classic in our upcoming February concert, Sun, Moon & Stars. But thanks to Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, we can promise the journey. It’s sure to conjure the romance and adventure of our most storied river.

Fun Facts:

• Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1884 in the UK and 1885 in the U.S. Other writers who have written about the Mississippi River include Herman Melville, Edna Ferber and George R.R. Martin.
• The name Mississippi comes from the Ojibwe Misi-ziibi, or Great River.
• The river is considered the most endangered river in the U.S. due to pollution and climate change.  

And what better dream is there than a dream of the one you love? It’s the perfect way to end the day. Okay, sitting in a bistro by the Seine with a glass of wine is pretty good, too. But you get the idea…sweet dreams.

We’ll be singing Dream a Little Dream of Me in our next concert performance, Sun, Moon & Stars, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at St. Katharine of Siena Church in Wayne. Come out and join us. We’ll have you dreaming in no time.

Fun Facts:

• This song was first recorded in 1931 by Ozzie Nelson of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet fame. It was later covered dozens of times, including versions recorded by Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Doris Day and French singer Enzo Enzo.
• The most popular version was recorded by The Mamas and Papas in the 1960s, with Cass Elliot singing the solo.
• Cass did her own whistling on the song.
