Genre: Easy listening
Places I remember: My dad's record collection.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/ Gear costume: Niagara Theme
Active compensatory factors: I continue to own this for nostalgic reasons - pure and simple. The record itself holds nothing for a child of the Beatles (aside from the George Martin track - keep reading).

There's the ridiculously bad portrait on the cover, the schmaltzy string arrangements that accompany the piano, and the very mannered playing style of Roger Williams (born Louis Weertz, on my birthday - October 1, in 1924). Sounds interesting? There are 50 available via discogs for around $2.00 each!
But, thanks to dad - here it is! That cover was always around (the purply stain on the back cover is instant nostalgia) and the song selection holds it firmly in place (Themes from Dr Kildare and Ben Casey are evidence of that).
The only slight point of interest is his version of George Martin's Niagara Theme (George's song was done by his own Orchestra and issued in 1965). But it's not a great tune, I'm sorry to report.
Where do they all belong? Mercifully, that's the last album in my Easy Listening section.
