Transcript

Transcribed. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad out. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents Fantasy and Promptu, a new operator by Lawrence and Lee based on the life and music of Frederick Chopin, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest, Dorothy Warren Show.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubon, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Tonight another musical first is brought to you by the American Railroad. The same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is our star, Gordon, Act Thanks! Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Did you ever sit down to a piano to play the mighty yet gentle music of Frederic Chopin?

If you have, then you know that every bar, every note tells a story. Dorothy Warren, Sheldon, I are going to search for that story as we bring you Fantasy and Prompto. The end of target stars are in the blue Long as there's a spring of bird to sing I've gone loving you

You love tongue as roses bloom in me My love for you I sing day Each mountain disappears I'll be there for you to care for you through laughter and through tears I swear by stars above They say that I'll feel the air

I do not sing this song about a woman I love But about a country I love My heart, my home, my Poland. Is she lost to me forever? Will I never find her again? I search for her.
