@Letty,
Speaking of History my dear Letty here two vids from my home town COIMBRA. Portuguese student Tow "Portuguese Oxford", one of the oldest Universities in Europe, 700 plus)





Uploaded on May 16, 2007

Here you can see students crying in "Serenata da Queima das Fitas" while listening to "Fado of Coimbra"(typical song from Coimbra sang by students of this Portuguese University). The lyrics of this song remind them of the upcoming end of their graduations and time to leave this city, their colleagues and friends.

PS - Please note the black student suits with the black cloak all Coimbra students use.

@Fil Albuquerque,
Ah, my dear friend Fil. Those two songs were fantastic. I checked the guys in the black suits. Fado of Coinbra were captivating.

Back later, dear friends

Saying good afternoon now with two songs.

I'm certain that Olivier 5 will know Charles, and perhaps all of my friends will know that he inspired Bobby to do Le Mer.

@Letty,
Ah Trenet... He was nicknamed le "fou chantant" (the "singing jerster"?).

Here's a cover of his "Nationale 7" by Les Tueurs de la Lune de Miel (Belgian band from the 90's)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFbh6WDQ9w0

(the 70's shody look is intentional)

And here's the original, superbly jazzy:

Hurry back, dear creator, as you know I love "the jester" and I always appreciate your comment and personal acknowledgement.

Ah, Mon Ami, the one by The Honey Moon killers was funny. Your original was excellent . As you know I love Charles doing his driving song. It warmed my heart.. You drive back here today too.

Well, y'all, it's Mozart's birthday, and I love this parody:

Now, lets pretend here, ok? It is NOT a beautiful day here in our Florida radio station.

Here's a golden oldie again:

@edgarblythe,
Ah, Mr. Creator, as you know, I always appreciate your comments and personal acknowledgement. Love Tom Jones doing You're My World.

Here is a serious dedication to that fantastic classical musician, and the paintings in the background are wonderful. Today is his birthday.

@tsarstepan,
Welcome back to you as well, my long time friend.

That cover of Gabriel Kahane was fantastic. Yes love can be a palace as well as our homes.

Now, here is a poem that I never quite understood:

Robert Frost:

Well, McTag said that every day was Valentine' s Day. Smile

Looking back at happier times again. My late sister sent me a vinyl with Mario Lanza doing the laughing clown, and then, as edgar knows, I like the original better.

First, Mario:

He played this one on piano:

When two artists I like record the same song, I treat it as two different songs. I love both versions equally.

@edgarblythe,
Ah, Mr. Creator, good to see you back with us. Glad that you liked both versions of the two songs.

As you know, I love Leonard Cohen, but I didn't Know Two Lonesome Heroes by him. Great one.

Back later dear friends

Going to say good afternoon now with two songs:

First an explanation of why I said: "I have never loved people; and people have never loved me."

Here is Babs:

and, once again, "the boss". I think this tour was down the river to Texas.

From Letty with love to all of my friends here.

@edgarblythe,
I love that song from South Pacific, Mr. creator. I had no idea that Sam Cooke did it. He was great.

Here's one by Perry Como:

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

and since it is King George VII's birthday, how about the son of Henry the VIII. Smile

But first, a hush:

Now, the king. (no, not Elvis)
