Thanks for the comment and personal acknowledgement.

Well, most of my dreams are day dreams as I keep having back problems.

Going to say good afternoon now with two songs.

First, The Monkees.

Now, dear Perry doing a wonderful twilight song:

Hope my Bach gets better. Smile

From Letty with love to the world.

@edgarblythe,
Edgar, honestly--seeing what you CAN do--your PC is a whizz compared to mine. I'm have a new one set up. I hate to miss youtubes.

@JLNobody,
A funny thing about my computer. Oftentime in the evening, it moves better. That may have something to do with my service. I don't know. I just know that it barely functions at all, early in the day.

Hurry back, edgar/Mark and JL great discussions on our Florida radio station.

Joan doing I Shall Be Released was fantastic. Didn't know it so thank for the memory.

Well, I feel a bit better this Thor's day here.

Think that I will do three songs for today.

First, it's the great George Shearing's birthday and here are two versions
of the same song.

First, George. Really strange, y'all:

Now, Bobby:

Now, another birthday man that reminds me of my late husband.

Any TV or movie lovers out there?

Today is this guy's birthday.

First, The Theme:

Now, one of his movies:

Poor Cary Grant.

and, y'all, remembering the Realm:

Poe's book is my coffee table book:

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow --
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand --
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep -- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Odd, I just found out that Poe had Bipolar disorder. As we all know, it happens to creative people. (then, of course, there's BiPolar Bear )Smile
As we have discussed before, Nat will live on forever via his music.

I am trying to get Mack the Knife to play. When that song was a hit by Bobby, he starred in an episode of Hennesy, a Jackie Cooper TV show. In it he played an entertainer in the Navy. He malingered in a Naval hospital, seeking to get out of the service. In the end, "Dr" Jackie Cooper got him straightened out. He closed the episode singing Mack the Knife.

@edgarblythe,
Mark, this is talk radio, too, dear friend. I didn't know that info on Bobby. Thanks again for the information.

Well, let's listen to that talented guy.

More synchronicity. I did a radio show called Accent, and I followed it with The Raven by Poe:

Dear Bobby was hedonistic as he knew he had health problems and was not going to live very long.

Here he is with The Pied Pipers.

Going to say good afternoon a bit early, as I need to get out of our radio station and lie down for a bit.

Inspired by Region's spoonerisms, I discovered this man whose birthday is today.

First, some info:

Donald Tai Loy "Don" Ho (simplified Chinese: 何大来; traditional Chinese: 何大來; pinyin: Hé Dàlái; August 13, 1930 – April 14, 2007) was a Hawaiian traditional pop musician, singer and entertainer. He is best known for the song "Tiny Bubbles".

Always great to have our creator with us.

From Letty with love to the world

Good late morning from hear in our Florida radio station.

Had some problems this morning, so I hope all of our listeners and contributors will arrive.

Today is Doc Holliday's birthday so here is a movie trailer starring Van
Kilmar: Here is some info on the man:


John Henry "Doc" Holliday was an American gambler, gunfighter, dentist, and a good friend of Wyatt Earp. He was a Deputy U.S. Marshal during and after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

Now one that was a reminder from my daughter: She's back in West Virginia
now.

I taught my children, and they taught me, too.Smile

When I get up early in the morning here in our Florida radio station, I always look at Ursula and her Swede. (Stephan)

Interesting national anthem for both of them:

Where are our music, poetry, and painter lovers?

Another strange bit of propaganda. Paul McCarty is dead and Elvis Presley alive?

One of my favorites by Paul:

and, y'all, my favorite by "the king"

Although I'm a trio again, it no longer bothers me.

Going to say good afternoon with two songs and a poem.
by Jane Taylor

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut an eye
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Now Neil

Now, y'all, a dance:
