"War Isn't Murder" by singer/songwriter Jesse Welles

📍 NYC subway, Feb 2025

"Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" is a #popular #song with music by #RayHenderson and lyrics by #LewBrown, published in 1931. #EthelMerman introduced this song in George White's Scandals of 1931. A #RudyVallée version, recorded in 1931, achieved success. The song was revived in 1953 by singer #JayePMorgan. The song title gave rise to the revue of Henderson's music called It's the Cherries, which launched the #AmericanComposerSeries in 2000.
