@George,
Ah, another sigh of relief, Love While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Thanks for your comment.

Hope you liked Melody De Amour dear friend.

My Beth said that West Virginia was a ghost town and it
reminded me of poor John Denver:

@Letty,
Matt Munro does a good but subdued version of "The Impossible Dream".
Sometimes that song is ruined by over-dramatizing it.


Now this . . .


Ry Cooder -- Poor Man's Shangri-La

@Letty,
I like "Country Roads", but I'm not sure West Virginia qualifies as "almost
heaven".


Let's listen to some Stevie Wonder.


Stevie Wonder -- Pastime Paradise

@George,
Thanks again, dear friend for keeping our radio station going.

Glad you liked that great love song

Oops, I lost one of your songs, but Mark doing Border Reiver
was great.Now I see that it was Stevie Wonder.

Saying good afternoon a bit early as my back is not doing well. When I
broke my hip, there was a bit of chipped bone in my spinal column.

I loved you funny remark about West Virginia not bring almost heaven

First, The Sons of the Pioneers:

Now, these marvelous sisters:

So glad that you are still my Christian friend.

From Letty with love to the two of us. Smile

I enjoy the Sons of the Pioneers doing cowboy songs.


This is more of an East-Coast thing.

@George,
Good morning, dear friend.

Thanks for your comments on what we play here.

Really enjoyed those songs by Jan, Randy, and Jamie. Love
the ones you introduce to us here.

Do you remember Jaye and the Americans?

I was fascinated when I first heard this one.

Now, a brief version of one by William Shakespeare. (another history mystery)
