Some tunes by Irving Berlin for you today. How did you ring in the New Year last night? Any special meals? Where I’m from, they usually have pork & sauerkraut, which...let’s just say, I prefer Hoppin’ John.

“Alexander’s Ragtime Band”
x It absolutely blows my mind that Irving Berlin, who had his first major hit in 1911(!) with "Alexander's Ragtime Band," died in the same year that 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny" and "The Fuck Shop" were released.#music pic.twitter.com/EsEnMooLNW — japecake (@japecake) November 6, 2023
Julia Frank, “A Syncopated Cocktail”
x Composer Irving Berlin was born May 11, 1888, in Russia. His wonderful songs brightened old Hollywood musicals like Top Hat, Alexander's Ragtime Band, Easter Parade, Annie Get Your Gun, and White Christmas. pic.twitter.com/KE7vELomei — Amanda Garrett (@oldhollywood21) May 11, 2018
🎈 Happy New Year 🎈
