Good evening, WA2K and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.
Yesterday's crawfish songs put me in mind of my time in Louisiana. And that
makes me want to play some contemporary Cajun music tonight.
First up is a band from Lafayette, La -- Feufollet. That's literally "Crazy
Fire" and the name Cajuns give to will-o-the-wisp.
Feufollet -- Tired Of Your Tears
As long as we're in Lafayette, let's head on over to the Blue Moon Saloon.
I hear The Lost Bayou Ramblers are playing.
Lost Bayou Ramblers -- Ma Génération
Victorian reading matter.
Quote:A new " Mystic Story,' entitled The Day
Ghost, is announced for "immediate publica-
tion." Should it be successful, no doubt it
will be followed, as companion volumes, by
The Afternoon Phantom, The Five o' Clock
Tea Shade, and The Supper Spectre, which
again would suggest a further " Tale of
Terror," The Luncheon Bogey.
Good morning from our Florida radio station.
Hurry back Latin George. Loved Tired of your Tears and Ma Generation.
Izz with a y, Not to worry as: Those spooks don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.
Ah, edgar, hate that about the member of The Three Bells.
As you know, Edith did the original:

Against Idleness and Mischief (1715)
by Isaac Watts
How doth the little busy Bee
Improve each shining Hour,
And gather Honey all the day
From every opening Flower!
How skilfully she builds her Cell!
How neat she spreads the Wax!
And labours hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.
In works of Labour or of skill
I would be busy too:
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
In books, or work, or healthful play
Let my first years be past,
That I may give for every Day
Some good account at last.
Which was parodied by Lewis Carroll, when he wrote How doth the little crocodile
Neil Diamond's song reminds me of this one, written by Buffy Sainte-Marie.

@edgarblythe,
Mark, first allow me to comment on that poem by Isaac Watts. Love it as it says it right about Lewis Carol's Croc.
"never smile at a crocodile".
Love that Welcome Emigrante as written by Buffy. As you know, I love her Cripple Creek song, and what a surprise to find out that she was a Canadian Cree.
Here's a birthday guy, and I remember my late husband sitting at the piano and playing it:

Well, y'all, it's David Rockefeller's birthday today, and he inspired me to do another Canadian:

A different song by the Browns
@edgarblythe,
I had no idea that The Browns did Old Lamp Lighter. Love it, Mark.
Remember Peter Pan?
Here are two crocodiles.

Now, Elton John:

Calling all workers.

You and I are retired, right edgar?
and my quote for today since it's Anne Frank's birthday:
Anne Frank
“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart"
Yep. I bean retarded for a few weeks now.
@edgarblythe,
Glad I "retarded" early, my friend. Hope you liked my quote.
Another retire:

Inspired by Region's spoonerisms:

Now, a birthday man:

Now, a memory of The Roanoke Island. My late husband and I visited
it and met Andy Griffith there. He was Sir Walter Raleigh. He wasn't a ver nice man. We'll never know what happened to the lost colony.

Great having England with us, and I hope my back gets better so that I can return.
Here is another thing you should avoid with your car

Hope you and all of our listeners enjoyed Rumming Bear

Saying good evening with Doris:

Good evening and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.
Last week we listened to artists who attended college in Boston.
Tonight we move north to Canada. Our first musician you'll recognze at
once. The second went to college with me at Don Bosco College in NJ.
