Sil Austin Plays Pretty Melodies Of The World

 

Nature Boy


Sil Austin Plays Pretty Melodies Of The World
Arranged and Produced by Luchi De Jesus
Mercury STEREL SR 60925
1964

From the back cover: The man (Austin) was born in Florida and almost grew up with a horn in his mouth. His career started when he won first prize in an amateur contest playing "Danny Boy." Coincidentally, it was later to be his first hit single for Mercury.

As if you couldn't tell it by listening, he loves to play, and he loves his audience. "The biggest thrill of my entire professional career was when a 'holiday' was declared in Kingston, Jamaica, while I appeared there, The large parade and the hundreds of people waiting to welcome me was an experience I have never forgotten." says Sil.
