@George,
It's high noon here, Latin George. I listened to Thursday Night and Friday Morning as well, but I didn't understand it.

Loved Working My Way Back to You by that quartet, dear friend. Hope you liked the Dawning song.

"when bad people win and
Good people lose
We understand the soul
And the meaning of the blues.

Here's One to match your work. As you know, coal miners were paid in script that could on be redeemed at the company store:

Sorry, edgar/Mark. I missed your contribution

Well, I remember edgar/Mark having said: "I am what I am and that's all that I am, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man".

I hope you and George will comment on my contributions.

I checked out and listened to most of your music, letty. Entirely too much to comment on, but it's all good.

More puns and another go at Gladstone.

Quote:
Eloquence and "Wisdom.—The rejoicings recently performed at
•Brussels in celebration of the King's second birthday, included a
Nautical procession, commemorating an event in the career of
William the Silent. " Speech is silvern, and silence is golden"
indeed; but the admirers of Mr. Gladstone will shrink from no
comparison between William the Silent, and William quite the
reverse. However, the Brussels function showed a pleasant way to
liquidate a Bill.

Letty~

"Both Sides, Now" reminds me of the time I was flying over Texas and there
was a lightning storm going on in the clouds below us. What a show!

Well, it's pun in the Sunday here in our studio. Always love yours, Izz with a Y.

So glad that tsar and edgar/Mark are still my friends.

Loved Winton's Carnival in Venice as well as edgar's Phil Ochs.

Latin George, I'm sorry that your song on the original WA2K didn't melt the freeze. I guess it's permanent now. Your comment on Both Sides Now made me think of this one. It will be our hymn for Sunday:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGGUJoRvPs

It calmed me a bit since I still haven't heard from my daughter.

I truly love the cockney patios ever since I saw Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady and she did The Rain in Spain Lies Mainly in the Plain.

Too bad that people in different parts of our planet cannot continue to use their was of speaking. Ah, me.

Hoped our pun man liked that funny one from London.

Oops, that should have been their WAY of speaking.

Here is a beautiful song done by an instrumental and a vocal:

I miss The Realm, but here is a trailer to Poe's The Raven:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuireoKBiC0

and, y'all, the man who wrote When Sunny Gets Blue also wrote Scarlet Ribbons. His name is Jack Segal (pronounced like seagull Smile

Here is Gentleman Jim (another gone too soon) singing it:

Now, a funny parody by Ogden Nash:

A remarkable bird is the pelican,
Whose beak can hold more than its bellycan.

He can hold in his beak,
Enough food for a week,
But what I don't know is
How the hellhecan. Smile

@edgarblythe,
edgar/Mark, That was the most fantastic mix of music by Harry that I have ever heard. Humorous, secular, religious. He has a really, REALLY good voice as well.

Thanks for your comment and personal acknowledgement as well, dear friend.

I know that our listeners and contributors enjoyed it as well.

Well, my daughter arrived home safely, and she love this one:

I think Harry meant Bobby Kennedy, but I'm not certain.

This is one of my favorite Judy Collins songs. It was written but never recorded by Leonard Cohen. It paints a beautiful picture to me.

Saying good afternoon with two songs.

First Ave Maria. (edgar likes this one)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xL4YdTLDck

Now, remembering Latin George's funny pun:

"when you step on an eel and he bites at your heel that's a moray."

Now, Dean't version.

Great mix of music on our radio station here today, and it's always great having England with us.

From Letty with love to everyone here

Good morning from a very still radio station here in Florida.

edgar/Mark, I missed your Judy Collins song about Leonard. It is strange that it was never recorded.

Well, Bobby got his law degree and UVA, and Sirhan shot him. Ah, me.

Two songs for today here:

First two birthday guys:

First George:

Now, dear Perry:

Thinking of the iconic outlaws now. During the great depression, they did what they could to help themselves and others.

Beer, no less important today.

Quote:
AT THE BIER OF BEER.

[By a Poet more Ale than Arty.)

"What is pure Beer ? The Leer that's brewed alone of malt and hops.
To that is Allsopp's limited—the beer brewed else all slops.
Quassia, calumba, guinea-grains, beer-drinkers may condemn.
Yet though those bitters match not hops, there's little harm in them.

But hops although the wise above all other herbs exalt,
The element of all good beer essentially is malt.
Of gentian mere infusion, to acknowledge truth compels,
Much of your so-called bitter ale by many an X excels.

Malt in the fine old English beer could Toby Phillpot taste.
No longer now!—the beverage of a Briton is debased.
" Home-brewed " hath superseded been by vile and vapid " pale."
There's none such stuff as " stingo," no, nor any "nut-brown ale."

Oh, for the sound malt liquor, and the brave strong beer of old,
Like that near Covent Garden which was once at " Offley's " sold!
Then was John Barleycorn your man, but now, alas, he's dead,
And the farmer's flowing tankard from the roadside inn hath fled!

Funny poem about beer, pullman. Odd, because I once told Region that if I lost any more weight, I'd disappear.

As I noted before, that Irishman I knew told me to drink beer to put on more weight, so I drank root beer. Smile

Well, Here's another song that's great, but first some info:

On the surface, this song is about a cowboy who refuses to fall in love, but it could also be about a young man who discovers guitars, joins a band, pays his dues and suffers for his art. The stress of being a rock star is a recurring theme in Eagles music (e.g. "Life In The Fast Lane"). The overall theme is how you must suffer for your art. (thanks, Randy - Beaumont, TX)

Now, The Eagles:

After playing the Wreck of the Old 97, I found an old picture of my daddy and lots of other railroad people gathered around an old disabled steam engine, and realized that he might be a part of that horror.

Now, another song, but first some info:

"Barbara Allen" is a traditional ballad originating in England and Scotland, which immigrants introduced to the United States, where it became a popular folk song. Roud and Bishop described it as, "...far and away the most widely collected song in the English language — equally popular in England, Scotland and Ireland, and with hundreds of versions collected over the years in North America."

This isn't the melody that I remember, but it is still lovely:
