@edgarblythe,
Carl doing Boppin the Blues was great, Mark. Didn't know him, so thanks for the introduction. Thanks again for your comment and saying my name.

Inspired by my long time friend Roger, who was talking about lizards, I went searching for the only little creature that I see here now.

The Culture Club says it for me:

@Letty,
I've loved Boy George's voice ever since the first time I heard it.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for the comment on Willie, Mark, and saying my name is always a pleasure. Love Jerry Lee doing The Wild Side of Life.

More synchronicity, dear friend. Today is Helen Keller's birthday, and here she is with Mark.

Now, The Miracle Worker:

Also thinking of this wonderful Poet today, y'all:

His view:

May 6, 1895

Requiem

UNDER the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie:
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you 'grave for me: 5
Here he lies where he long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Mr.DAVITT has made a few mistakes lately.
When Mr. Parnell is inclined to use strong

Michael Davitt (Irish: Mícheál Mac Dáibhéid; 25 March 1846 – 30 May 1906) was an Irish republican, nationalist, and Georgist agrarian agitator, an inspirer of Mahatma Gandhi, a social campaigner, labour leader, journalist, Home Rule constitutional politician and Member of Parliament (MP), who founded the Irish National Land League

@edgarblythe,
Mark, weren't you delighted by Helen Keller and Mark Twain? Smile

The World I Used to Know by Jimmie was really great, but a bit sad, Texas.

Been having a bit of trouble with my pc in our Florida radio station, so I'm going to say good afternoon with two songs.

First, Inspired by Captain Kangaroo, a funny one.

My older sister was with Lew Dewitt when he died. Sad

Now, Dolly. (don't worry Mark. We'll keep her a secret. Smile

Great having England with us.

I need to use The Spectator's archives to explain this Punch article.

Quote:
"The Flo Revelations."—We've heard the last of them. They are now
we "Over-Flo."




Quote:
Prince Bismarck has replied to the revelations of General Le Flo by publishing some despatches from Prince Reuss, who was German Ambassador in St. Petersburg at the time (May, 1875). They only show that the Emperor Alexander, when talking to the German Ambassador, discredited General Le Flo's alarms, and expressed warm feeling about the German Crown Prince, who then held the reins of government. In January, 1876, moreover, the Czar expressed the highest confidence in Prince Bismarck, stating that he had himself begged him to remain in office as a necessity of the German Empire. The Czar added, however, that everybody did not trust the Prince as implicitly as he did, a fact which was the fault of the German Press. That means, of course, that, the war scare being over, the Czar felt it his interest to be especially civil. Prince Bismarck, in addition to publishing these papers, categorically denies a charge advanced by General Le Flo, that he had sent Herr von Radowitz to St. Petersburg to offer any terms for permission to attack France. Herr von Radowitz returned from St. Petersburg before the war scare, which was got up, Prince Bismarck affirms, between some French agents and Prince Gortschakoff. Berlin has yet to explain how it happened that the British Court fully believed in a coming war, and exerted itself strongly to prevent one.

Latin George, Tell Yee Wan that I did that as a joke.

Izz with a y, we always appreciate your historical information. Odd,dear friend, because today is Henry VIII's birthday.

two songs for the SUN day here.

First, a secular one as a tribute to Pat Morita whose birthday is today:

Anyone remember the TV show Happy Days:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VijD3WjREgw

Now, our hymn, but first some information:

Thomas Moore (1779-1852), a friend of the famous poets Lord George Gordon Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, was an Irish Catholic known much more for sentimental romantic ballads of his day, including “The Last Rose of Summer” (1805), “Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms” (1808), and the patriotic song, “The Minstrel Boy,” written for those who suffered and died in the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

Happy Days had two theme songs. One was written for the show. The other is Rock Around the Clock.

This song is about a little kid named Scotty.

@edgarblythe,
Didn't know that about Happy Days, Mark, so thanks for the info.

Ah, Bobby doing Watching Grow was great. It reminds me of happier times once again.

Two songs for this afternoon. Just remember, y'all, everything must be interpreted in the light of the setting event.

First, inspired by the pushman The Bismark:

Now, a funny parody on the birthday of Henry VIII.Smile
