Duane Eddy
Apache

I used to watch TV as kid around 1956-1957 and vaguely recall a 15-minute show starring Les Paul and Mary Ford. I think I was about 5 or 6 mebbe:

bumpy

mumpy

dumpy

I don't like a lot of Les and Mary recordings, but some I do.

Thanks for the comment, edgar. I think that Les and Mary had a rather nasty breakup later, so maybe this would have been a better Johnny.

Enjoyed Apache by Duane.

I know what you mean about some of their work. Too much schmaltz...not enough feeling. Another way of phrasing it ..is ... too commercial. He certainly was as good a guitarist as you are going to get - from any decade..

Old story I may have told here before - Les Paul made a recording that ended with the shave and a haircut sound, but left off the last two beats. When DJs complained, because they had dead air space, waiting for the end, he made a recording of just the two beats and sent them to DJs.

Johnny B Goode is a good one. I played Johnny is The Boy For Me, because I happened to remember hearing it on the radio, just one time, when I was a kid. Today was the second or third time I heard it.

I read that the only reason Jerry Lee Lewis made this record was to keep his mother from listening to the Chuck Berry version so often.

Funny, edgar. didn't know that one by Jerry Lee, but I love the background on music.

Had no idea that he composed that song.

Wikipedia:
Chaplin's compositions produced three popular songs. "Smile", composed originally for Modern Times (1936) and later set to lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, was a hit for Nat King Cole in 1954.[398] For Limelight, Chaplin composed "Terry's Theme", which was popularised by Jimmy Young as "Eternally" (1952).[400] Finally, "This Is My Song", performed by Petula Clark for A Countess from Hong Kong (1967), reached number one on the UK and other European charts.[401] Chaplin also received his only competitive Oscar for his composition work, as the Limelight theme won an Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1973 following the film's re-release.

Here's the Everly Brothers

I know a much slower versions of Hi Lili, edgar. I like the Everly Brothers, however.
There were three or four remakes of Charlie Chaplin, too. Thanks for the background.

Your Lili reminded me of Sidney.

Charlie Rich

edgar, That is my favorite song of all time by Charlie. It depicts the good and the bad in all of us. Thanks for your comment and the smile.

I used to listen to the Osmonds quite a bit.

Beautiful Boy

Ah, edgar, That one by John is very tender. How dear, that child.

More synchronicity, because some time ago, I sent my Beth a precious photo of her when she was a baby, and added the lyrics to it. Here's Deano singing it now.

Just listened to "Push Push".
Outstanding!

"Getting to the point where I'm no fun any more."
I can relate.

Crosby, Stills & Nash -- Suite Judy Blue Eyes

Why thank you!
How did you know I sing just like that?

These guys are a bit better.

Welcome back, Latin George, love all of your songs. Going to say Goodnight with a reminder, and a great jazz version of How High the Moon.

The reminder, buddy.
