Ethel Merman "Old-Fashioned Wedding" Live TV "Annie Get Your Gun" Berlin

Ethel Merman and Bruce Yarnell singing Irving Berlin's wonderful "Old-Fashioned Wedding", written for this revival in 1966, from the soundtrack of the television broadcast of "Annie Get Your Gun". From a newly found recording that seems to be from the actual soundtrack, both remastered and slightly pitch corrected by Tormented Artist Ink Studios (me); the original showed signs of tape stretch somewhere along the line, the entire cast sounded like they had colds. For my money, though on most of the rest of the recording Merman's vibrato is in overdrive, this is superior in performance to the studio recording. The video seems to be lost, but at least this survives.
