Here's one by Joan that brings back the Civil War:

That reminded me of Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.

This trailer is a bit long, but the idea is he was hanged for being a confederate.

The whole idea behind that is that he had a wonderful memory before death.

@edgarblythe,
Mr. Creator, I love that golden oldie, and you sent me searching. Love to learn here.

Elton John also did that one.

Now, one that is good, but should include sisters. Smile

I knew a woman that met one of the group members that sang Smile on your brother on that record. She left home to be with him. It was rocky at first and she left him, then went back. I hope she is doing well, these days.

a song about Pretty Polly

@edgarblythe,
You continue to amaze me, edgar, I had no idea about that lady.

I love Judy Collins doing Pretty Polly.

Let's keep April going, shall we?

@edgarblythe,
Love "the count" doing that instrumental version, Mr. Creator. Did I hear Pop goes the weasel?" funny.

Here's Dame Shirley doing it with lyrics:

Hearing Shirley makes me think of a James Bond theme.

@edgarblythe,
Love Tom Jones doing that James Bond theme, Mr. Creator.

My favorite was by Sean Connery.

Saying good afternoon now with another Russian Song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SD6qQWxMrM&nohtml5=False

and, the lyrics:

Stillness in the grove
Not a rustling sound
Softly shines the moon clear and bright
Dear, if you could know
How I treasure so
This most beautiful Moscow Night

Dearest, why so sad, why the downcast eyes
And your lovely head bent so low
Oh, I mustn’t speak, though I’d love to say
That you’ve stolen my heart away

Promise me my love, as the dawn appears
And the darkness turns into light
That you’ll cherish dear, through the passing years
This most beautiful Moscow Night
Say you’ll cherish dear through the passing years
This most beautiful Moscow Night

we'll dedicate that to my long time friend Tsar, because I thought he wa Russian.Smile

From Letty with love to the world.

George

Good "Saturn's" day here in our Florida radio station.

Latin George, We used to call My Old Flame Fire on the Mountain. Smile

I know that Robert likes Billy Holiday, hope he visits here occasionally.

Loved Sarah doing It Might as Well be Spring,

Did you know that Rosemary Clooney had bi polar disorder?

A couple songs for the morning here.

First, a golden oldie by Al Jolson:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoJJcixSfjo&nohtml5=False

Now, The Byrds. Ah, I had hoped that tsar woul hop in here. Smile

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq4pe0cKQc0&nohtml5=False

I don't understand why this link equals false.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoJJcixSfjo&nohtml5

Now, The Byrds

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for that explanation, Mr. Creator, and those two China Dolls singing You Raised Me Up, were fabulous.

Here's another golden oldie.

and, y'all, a nocturne:

Oops, edgar, I missed your comments on those two songs, and you know I always appreciate your personal acknowledgement.

Remembering my long time friend, Bob. <rip> who was standing on the stage and said: We are not a bird band.

It reminded me of this dear crew:

Poor Michael. <sniff>
