Well, y'all, I've had my trio for today so I'm saying good afternoon now with three songs. First The Beatles:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhq_Turpz4Q

Now, more bugs (no, tsar, not bugs bunny)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b97sBw-sRNM

Lady bug, lady bug fly away home,
Your house is on fire and your children are gone.
All except one and her name is anne,
And she flew under the frying pan. Smile

Now, a great quartet:

Good evening, WA2K, and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.

It's Wednesday and that means French Toast.

Tonight we'll listen to a chanteuse from Acadie. Acadie is the name for a
part of Canada that was once a French province. Today it comprises New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

We'll also listen to a duo made up of Jérémy Frérot and Flo Delavega,
contestants on the French version of The Voice.

Parliament is always good for satire. I've reproduced two pages as the second contains a long verse that relates to the first cartoon.

and, a good Thor's day to everyone here.

edgar, I really liked Hey Jude by the fab four and trio doing It was a Very Good Year was good as well.

Latin George, You hurry back too. My favorite by you was Evangeline.


Evangeline had its origin in an anecdote. A South Boston man named Connolly urged Nathaniel Hawthorne to write the tale of a young woman who was exiled from Nova Scotia and searched for her lost love, only to find him a moment before his death. Hawthorne never picked up the subject, but Longfellow did. He believed that it was a wonderful tale of a woman’s fidelity; it was a perfect subject for his gentle sensibility. He also used historical sources, so the basic tale and the historical frame were given to the poet.

Izz with a y, we always enjoy your information on England and your parliment reminds me of our congress.

Three theme songs for today. I awakened last evening thinging of them from our TV monitor.

I am a fan of all three of those TV shows, letty.
Hank's song is one his best.

@edgarblythe,
Ah, Mr. Creator, thanks for the comment and personal acknowledgement.

As you know, I love "golden oldies".

Following You Around by Kahn was great. The melody reminded me of Old Blue Eyes saying "I won't dance my dear with you."

Glad I'm not a trio again, but I'm saying good afternoon with three great songs.

First, Willie and Ray:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8A9Y1Dq_cQ

Now Julio and Willie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVq0ONrSH-Q

"I'm Sixteen: I think I always will be."

Good evening, WA2K, and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.

Letty offered us two versions of Jambalaya. I agree with edgarblythe.
Hank's version is the gold standard.

And speaking of edgarblythe, how about "A Very Good Year"? What a great
song!

I'm in the mood for some low-down blues guitar tonight. And I've got a
couple of masters stacked up and ready to go.

Jubilee years and excessive rainfall seem to go hand in hand. This is from Punch in 1887.

Quote:
What Weather!—The Jubilee Year, too!
Does Jubilee Pluvius—no we mean Jupiter
Pluvius,—consider himself the Raining
Favourite ? But there is no Jupiter Pluvius
now. " The Old Gods are dead." Exactly.
Jupiter Pluvius has kicked the bucket, and
its contents are still being poured out on us
poor mortals.


This is from Liz's diamond jubilee back in 2012.

Good morning from our radio station here in Florida.

The light is now shedding in my window.

Latin George, hurry back. Loved all four of your songs, but Blue Guitar was my favorite.

Thinking of The Platters this morning:

Now, another good song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of2XipW2kNY

Anyone remember Hiama? He was quite ill, and I told him:

Strictly between us you're cuter than venus and once more you've got arms. Smile
