And, y'all, our Poem for today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-amoiUhIfI

Good morning. I have a book of Blake's poems. I like a number of them, including yours letty.

Here is a Ray Noble composition called Cherokee

Thanks, Mark, for your comment and personal acknowledgement.

Don't know that one by Ray Noble, but here's one to match:

and, High Noon:

Tex Ritter's record has a history behind it. Although he sang the song in the movie, his record company would not let him record it. Only after Frankie Laine's cover sold a million copies did they change their minds. Also, in the showing to preview audiences, the movie played the song so many times the audience started laughing, so they deleted much of it.

The Comancheros

Mark, I had no idea about Tex Ritter. Thanks for the information, buddy.

Loved The Comencheros, and I still think of John Wayne and his True Grit.

How about two songs now: First a great one by The Mills Brothers.

and, y'all, our hymn for today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6HSrcTvMqU

I think we all know that "prayer is the soul's sincerest desire"

I was a small kid first time I heard Across the Alley. Since it was a country station, the artist likely was Bob Wills with his Texas Playboys. But both records are likely as old.

Here is Little Richard during his stint as a gospel singer

I love The Mills Brothers because my Mamma loved them, Mark.

Love that one by Little Richard, buddy. I also like gospel music.

Here's one to match Richard's rain.

In honor of the Ras na hEireann 5K race today


The Dubliners -- The Rising of the Moon

Ah, My Roman Catholic friend, I love that Irish patois. Odd how race has two meanings, no? The Rising of the Moon was fantastic.

Going to say good afternoon with three songs but first some info about The Mills Brothers.

The quartet that imitated--and bettered--musical instruments was among the first African American singing groups to cross racial lines, perform for royalty and have its own radio show.

Now, song one:

I never hear that one that I don't think of Izzie.

Miss you Yitwail. He substituted "let it be with Letty Be"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMg5WGfyCkc

I know that Latin george and edgar love this one.

Love having England with us and the rest of us as well.
Sorry that I got everything out of order. Hope our listeners and contributors
will forgive me.

From Letty with love to the world

Another example of Victorian humour, not bad actually.

Good morning from our radio station here in Florida.

Hurry back, England, that was one funny observation about psychology. My professor of yesteryear, supported Behavior Modification and the board of education decided that teachers ought to use it in their lesson plans:

"students will do this; and students will do that."

Not one breath of wind here now. How about three stongs for the late morning.

First, a tribute to Rod Steiger who did The Twilight Zone:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA3l42Lgd_Q

triet to find a decent translation to this one, but it didn't work:

Now, one that I loved from a certain Doctor:

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

Once again, calling everybody.

First, Irish Eyes. Glad to see that Imur/Liam is back with us. He and euroGeorge are the only ones here from The Emerald Isles:

Now, calling edgar/Mark:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvLaI93iz3Q

Mina Tindle - To Carry Many Small Things

And "Madonne" by same:

Welcome back to you as well, Mon Ami.

Loved both of those songs by Mina Tindle, but the second one reminded me of
Beethoven:

The only thing that Christopher Columbus proved was that the world was round.

Good afternoon. The music all is very nice. Too much to individually comment on. Here is another Texas tribute to match yours, letty

Mark, Thanks again for your comment and personal acknowledgement, my friend.

What a surprise to know That Donovan did the almo.

Going to say good afternoon because I'm have some problems with my pc.

First, Marty doing the alamo:

Now, Kirk and The Vikings, but first a bit of info





Vikings: a brief history

The Vikings' homeland was Scandinavia: modern Norway, Sweden and Denmark. From here they travelled great distances, mainly by sea and river - as far as North America to the west, Russia to the east, Lapland to the north and North Africa and Iraq to the south. We know about them through archaeology, poetry, sagas and proverbs, treaties, and the writings of people in Europe and Asia whom they encountered. They were skilled craftsmen and boat-builders, adventurous explorers and wide-ranging traders. See Viking trade and Viking travel.

Great having England and Ireland with us today.

From Letty with love to everyone here

William Gladstone was not a popular figure in Punch.

For St. Patrick's Day...a song that will be heard played many times on Fifth Avenue in NYC today:


I thought about it listening to The Ballad of the Alamo. That song led me to another of the old west inspired songs…and since today is St. Patrick’s day…perhaps the song George Armstrong Custer considered his favorite is appropriate. It is the Garry Owen (Garryowen) march…the song played by Custer’s band (he took ‘em everywhere) every time the 7th Cavalry rode out. Although they didn’t go with him to the Little Bighorn…they played as the troops left camp.
