Mack the Knife by Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill (1928). English lyrics by Marc Blitzstein (1954)
from the musical ’Three Penny Opera’.
performed by Banjo Barney on a 1928 UB-1 Gibson Banjolele.
background picture is from the Adlon Hotel in Berlin about 1911. Certainly Brecht and Weill walked through this lobby many times.
Louis Armstrong recorded a duet with Kurt Weill’s widow Lotte Lenya and changed the name of one of the women from Polly Peachum to Lotte Lenya. Somehow I sang Lonnie Lenya, Ooopps!
