Moon River – Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Moon River … is … Savannah. The song was written by Johnny Mercer, a Savannah boy, for the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Sung and made famous by Audrey Hepburn. Credit for writing the extraordinary and original music goes to Henry Mancini.
If you have never seen this movie, you MUST!
For those of you who’d like to read the story by Truman Capote, on which the film was based, there is now a bilingual edition in the Bilingual Folio Series (ISBN: 9782070403882)

| Moon River, wider than a mile, I’m crossing you in style some day. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, wherever you’re going I’m going your way. Two drifters off to see the world. There’s such a lot of world to see. We’re after the same rainbow’s end– waiting ’round the bend, my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me. © 1961 Paramount Music Corporation, ASCAP |

Perkis Photo Exhibit at the Telfair
These images, taken in the most familiar circumstances—snapped from the driver’s seat or taken at home, are much more than the sum of their parts. As seen by Perkis, the electric fury of barking dogs in the streets of Mexico, the white stillness of Israel, and the silence of a sleeping mother reveal deep complexities of gray, of raw emotion and metaphor. Recent, contemplative works produced by the artist since losing his sight in one eye in 2007 will also be included in the exhibition.
The new exhibit at the Telfair is opening on April 16th.
