I play her mambo songs occasionally on my radio show, Omar's Dance Party. I did not know that she had passed on either. Guess i need to spend more time at the obits. eeekEinarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022616142038121252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019413228595228543.post-45671863342242326602008-11-10T09:39:00.000-05:002008-11-10T09:39:00.000-05:00I first heard the Baranski reading at a friend's p...I first heard the Baranski reading at a friend's place. She had a set of tapes of the reading series it was part of. (I was going to write that so the preposition didn't end the sentence, but it sounded to preposterously pompous.) When I read that Yma Sumac died, I started poking around on the Web looking for a print version of the story to link the blog post to (ditto re preposition). I found Ann Bancroft's first, which I hadn't heard before. You're right, Chris - she gives a very different reading. I prefer Baranski too.Terry Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260917473633630911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019413228595228543.post-59945169601467088512008-11-09T00:12:00.000-05:002008-11-09T00:12:00.000-05:00I only knew Sumac as a crossword puzzle clue. But ...I only knew Sumac as a crossword puzzle clue. But I'm tickled that you found the Baranski reading on the Meehan story. That originally played on a public radio program called Selected Shorts, and I've been unable to find it until now. The only other reading of the story was one with Ann Bancroft. Good, but not Baranski.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
