Going to say goodnight with two songs.

First, a new face on the horizon. Here is some info about the man.

New Age composer John Adorney began studying music at age nine -- although his first instrument was the cello, within two years he'd also acquired a guitar, profoundly influenced by the Beatles and the British Invasion they launched. He additionally learned the piano, and went on to study classical music at the University of Connecticut; a tenure with an ethnic dance troupe followed before Adorney relocated to Denver during the late 1970s, becoming a fixture of the local folk circuit. He next moved to Los Angeles, teaching music at a school for disabled children before founding his own music therapy practice; by the 1990s Adorney was additionally composing New Age-influenced instrumental material, eventually landing three pieces on the 1998 Domo compilation Reflections. The exposure brought him to the attention of the EverSound label, and later that same year Adorney issued his debut LP, Beckoning. Other Shore appeared in late summer 2001

Now his song.

Passenger -- Coins In A Fountain

Hey, McTag, seriously lovin' Beats & Pieces.

Serge Gainsbourg - L'Anamour



Aucun Boeing sur mon transit --- No Boeing on my transit
Aucun bateau sous mon transat --- No boat under my transat (chair)
Je cherche en vain la porte exacte --- I look in vain for the exact door
Je cherche en vain le mot 'exit' --- I look in vain for the word 'exit'

Je chante pour les transistors --- For the transistors I sing
Ce récit de l'étrange histoire --- This tale, this strange story
De tes anamours transitoires --- About your transitory nonloves
De Belle au Bois Dormant qui dort --- About a Sleeping Beauty who sleeps

Je t'aime et je crains --- I love you and I fear
De m'égarer --- Of going astray
Et je sème des grains --- And I sow seeds
De pavot sur les pavés --- Of poppy on the cobblestones
De l'anamour --- Of nonlove

Tu sais ces photos de l'Asie --- You know those photos of Asia
Que j'ai prises à deux cents Asa --- That I took at two hundred ASA
Maintenant que tu n'es pas là --- Now that you are not here
Leurs couleurs vives ont pâli --- Their bright colors have faded

J'ai cru entendre les hélices --- I thought I heard the turbines
D'un quadrimoteur mais hélas --- Of a four-engined aircraft but alas
C'est un ventilateur qui passe --- It's only a fan that passes
Au ciel du poste de police --- In the sky of the police station

Je t'aime et je crains --- I love you and I fear
De m'égarer --- Of going astray
Et je sème des grains --- And I sow seeds
De pavot sur les pavés --- Of poppy on the cobblestones
De l'anamour --- Of nonlove

This is not a music hall song. It was originally sung by Joe Brown in the musical 'Charlie Girl'. Jack Wild did, indeed, make a cover version and the 'Nicholas Paul' referred to is Paul Nicholas who starred in the revival of the same show.

Latin George, That one by Passenger was great.

Olivier 5, Always love your French songs. Also appreciate your translation,too.

Roscius, Welcome to our radio station. Funny, I didn't see old goat here. Explain, please.

Hope I didn't miss anyone. A bit groggy today.

And, a tribute to a famous actor.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXOM80dKfSA

George Campbell Scott (October 18, 1927 – September 22, 1999) was an American stage and film actor, director, and producer. He was best known for his stage work, as well as his portrayal of General George S. Patton in the film Patton, as General Buck Turgidson in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, and as Ebenezer Scrooge in Clive Donner's adaptation of A Christmas Carol. He was the first actor to refuse the Academy Award for Best Actor (for Patton in 1970), having warned the Academy beforehand that he would refuse it on philosophical grounds.

I only remember The Changeling because of the music box song.

tsar, Thanks for returning to our radio station. You just played three of my favorite string instruments:
The cello, the contra bass, and the violin.

Love it, and here's another; Motioning to our sound engineer to turn up the volume.

Our poem for today:


Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (Sonnet 18)
William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

and, y'all, another tree by the magnificent Paul Robeson:
