Welcome back, Mr. Creator. Thanks for your comment and personal acknowledgement.
Had no idea that Ray did that cover of John Lennon, buddy. Great version.
Thinking of spring again, and found this lovely song. First, some info on another creator:
Lee Ru-ma was born and raised in South Korea and educated in England. Yiruma began playing the piano at the age of five and subsequently moved to London at the age of 11 (1988), for the purpose of studying at the Purcell School of Music. In December 1996 he participated in the album The Musicians of Purcell.
This cartoon represents the then prime minister Lord Salisbury. He was very much a Unionist and landed aristocrat, but in terms of home affairs seen as something of a ditherer.
Quote:
(Historian)Smith characterizes his personality as "deeply neurotic, depressive, agitated, introverted, fearful of change and loss of control, and self-effacing but capable of extraordinary competitiveness." A representative of the landed aristocracy, he held the reactionary credo, "Whatever happens will be for the worse, and therefore it is in our interest that as little should happen as possible." Searle says that instead of seeing his party's victory in 1886 as a harbinger of a new and more popular Conservatism, he longed to return to the stability of the past, when his party's main function was to restrain demagogic liberalism and democratic excess
Good morning from our radio station here in Florida.
Hurry back Punch man. Loved that background on MacBeth, etc.
I was awakened late last night by Cold Case doing Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. I think they might have reopened the case on the death of both of them.
Also, Today is Bruce Willis' birthday, so here is a tribute to him and a memory of The Sixth Sense. He simply helped the child who saw ghosts.
I love Johnny and Hank, letty. Even like Bruce Willis, although I did not like The Sixth Sense.
Here is Hank's boy, doing his best song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy9IN5M6tiU
Albin de la Simone (his real name - he finds it ridiculous) is absolutely NOT a macho. He's what Americans sometimes call a "girly man", and in this song he seems to play with the idea of being a "real man".
Je coupe du bois --- I cut wood
L'hiver en forêt --- In the forest in winter
La sueur au front --- With sweat on my forehead
Dans le vent glacé --- In the icy wind
Torse nu la hache --- Shirtless, winding the ax
En grands moulinets --- In large whirls
Souvent je me fâche --- Often I get angry
Je sais pas pleurer --- I don't cry
Je braise et découpe, --- I grill and cut,
Grille au tourne-broche --- Look after the barbecue
Préside à la soupe --- Preside over the soup
Les mains dans le poches --- With my hands stuck firmly in their pockets
Je suis un homme --- I'm a man
C'est vrai --- It's true
Je suis un homme --- I'm a man
Et tu m'aimais --- And yet you loved me
Qui balle ovale, --- Who plays rugby
qui ballon rond --- Who plays football
Pendant que tu sales trop --- While you salt a bit too much
Pendant que tu ponds --- While you lay eggs
Un bouc, une bique --- A goat, a billy goat
Un barbu qui pique --- Bearded, itchy
Qui ronfle qui soupire --- Who snores, who sighs
Qui pue et qui transpire --- Who stinks and sweats
Qui chasse et qui pêche --- Who hunts and fishes
Dès le dos tourné --- As soon as you don't watch
Qui pour un coup de bêche --- And who for a quick shot
A tout bousillé --- Screwed up everything
Je suis un homme --- I'm a man
C'est vrai --- It's true
Je suis un homme --- I'm a man
Et tu m'aimais --- And yet you loved me

Welcome back, Mon Ami. Love that song by Albino de la Simone. Some French songs don't need translating.
As you know, I love this on by Charles Trenet, but first Bobby Darin who was inspired by him:
