Weekend Song

Longtime star of stage, screen and television, Emmy and Tony award winner Elaine Stritch passed away yesterday at the age of 89.  Stritch has been an actress and singer for over 70 years, with appearances in such Broadway classics as "Bus Stop" (1955) and "Company" (1970).  She's perhaps best known to younger audiences for her role as Alec Baldwin's mother in NBC's "30 Rock."  In our weekend song, she's performing in 2010's "A Broadway Celebration: In Performance at the White House."  A tip of the Hackwhackers hat to blog BFF P.E.C. for the suggestion!
