Merman & Martin DVD

[JMVR]

I just bought the Ford 50th Anniversary DVD which stars Mary Martin and Etherl Merman. The video is 27 minutes long at most, it does provide a unique opportunity to watch these two greats together, singin many of their standards (albeit in abridged versions) but I found Mary Martin's voice to be somewhat disappointing. Sometimes you just can't hear her at all and other times she hits weird notes. I am glad I got the video but I did expect a little more as far as the program is concerned. Still, I got it at Tower Records at Columbus Ave in NYC, if anybody is interested.

Please do comment!
