@edgarblythe,
Mark, as you know, I love Marty Robbins.

Two songs for high noon here. First, a birthday guy:

Punch man, What a surprise to realize that those are male witches making Irish Stew. Shouldn't they be called Warlocks?


Probably, but Shakespeare didn't write about three warlocks.

@izzythepush,
Oops, I missed the Shakespeare bit, pushman. I hope you liked our birthday guy and Peggy Lee.

How about a little fun now. Anyone remember this trio?

I remember those Caballeros. Peggy Lee was one of my all time favorite singers.

Dee Clark was not a huge star, but he had some goodies.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks again for your comment, Mark. Love that one by Dee Clark, and he talks about the rain. It's raining here again.

Well, y'all, perhaps we need to go to the sunny side.

Here are two versions of the same song.

First Manhattan Transfer:

Well, as most of you know, I look back at happier times.

Remembering when our tsar wanted poetry for the seasons of A2k:

Saying good afternoon with this memory:

I sat upon a hill one day in March,
and heard the footsteps of approaching spring
Her garments russeled as a meadowlark.
Her voice was like the blue bird when it sings.

She made the apple bloosoms soft and pink,
With water crystal clear as morning dew,
She made a shallow pond for deer to drink.
and colored all the skies a royal blue.

Great having England with us today.

From Letty with love to the world.

More Jubilee rumblings, sung to Old McDonald had a farm.


Quote:
THE EVERYWHERE JUBILEE YEAR.

(Sung by a sanguine Provincial Mayor to a well-known
Nursery Tune.)

At Town-hall Meetings, from the chair,
I've put it to them flat,
How this Imperial affair
Was sending round the hat,
With a " Jubilee " here and a " Jubilee " there ;
Here a " Ju," there a " bi,"
Everywhere a " lee,"
Until the fact I've made quite clear
That this is the Everywhere Jubilee Year !

Some are for thrift, some for expense,
Each to his hobby clings,
And those who give their pounds or pence
All want all sorts of things,
Some want a park here, some want a park there,
Here a park, there a park,
Everywhere a park.

Some'll have a pump here, some'll have a pump there,
Here a pump, there a pump,
Everywhere a pump.
And they'll vote for it here, and they'll vote for it there,
Here a vote, there a vote,
Everywhere a vote :
-Till it's "Jubilee" here, and it's "Jubilee" there,
Here a " Ju," there a " bi,"
A Everywhere a "lee,"
And brings the fact home doubly clear,
That this is the Everywhere Jubilee Year!

And so I move the whole machine;
Turn on the public tap ;
Though some, who say they're " Not so green,"
Won't give a single rap.
But I put a screw on here, and I put a screw on there,
Here a screw, there a screw,
Everywhere a screw :
And I try a dodge here, and I try a dodge there,
Here a dodge, there a dodge,
Everywhere a dodge.
For the Queen she'll be here, and the Queen she'll be there,
Here the Queen, there the Queen,
Everywhere the Queen ;
And she'll make a Knight here, she'll make a Knight there,
Here a Knight, there a Knight,
Everywhere a Knight.
So it's Jubilee" here, and it's "Jubilee" there,
Were a ' Ju," there a " bi,"
Everywhere a''lee,"
An I fancy I see my way quite clear
How t0 Work this Everywhere Jubilee Year!

Now, a funny version of "the farm man". Used to sing that to my kids.

That's how they learned about sound words. (Onomatopoeias)

Welcome back, Mon Ami. Loved both of those versions and here is one in English:

Odd, this doesn't sound like "old blue eyes":
