@George,

I love it when Tony Bennett sings like that. I bought several albums by him about the time he recorded that song.

Just as frantic as Louis Prima was Sam Butera

Good morning from here in our Florida radio station.

Sorry that I can's acknowledge each musical contribution, but suffice it to say that they were wonderful songs. As you know, my way of thanking you is to thumb up your responses.

Two songs for the morning here. First, a birthday gal.

I think I mentioned that I bought a number of albums by the Mills Brothers and different artists just to get copies of Across the Alley.

@edgarblythe,

I know about those albums, edgar. Didn't know that "old blue eyes" did Blue Skies. Razz

Odd, Today is Thornton Wilder's birthday, and I think most of us know that he did Our Town.

Here's one by James concerning it:

@edgarblythe,

Good one by that trio, edgar. It was my older sister who told me that Keely was born in Norfolk, Va. At times, she wasn't too pleased with Louis.

Today is this guy birthday, y'all:

Odd, I recall having sung this one on stage, but I won't go into that.

They used to play Superstar on the radio, quite a lot.

Doris Day is ninety. I missed her birthday.

And 64 years ago today, Tony Bennett made his first studio recording.

@edgarblythe,

Thank for the comment on The Carpenters, edgar. Once I had a Secret Love was done then Doris was Calamity Jane.

I thought of the will o the wisp today and wondered if it came from a swamp or a marsh.

Wonder where our Calamity Jane is?

Thanks for the info on Tony.

@edgarblythe,

edgar, Too Old to Cut the Mustard was funny. Dear Glenn, I hate to hear that, and sometimes I wonder if it's just divergent thinking. Remember him best for "I am a lineman for the county" and the noise in the background were flutes."

Here's the first one that I heard by Billy Joel:

That's the first one I remember by him, too, because it was the theme to a show I watched.
