@izzythepush,
Good to see you here again, Izz with a y.

Didn't know Bonzo Dog, my friend, but We Were Wrong was great as was your funny favorite line.

Well, today is Queen Isabella's birthday, so let here something from Queen:

@Letty,
The only band to have played in a Beatles' film other than the Beatles themselves. Neil Innes went on to create The Rutles. A lot of people think this is a Beatles song.

Good morning. It took a while to get my computer moving today. Got here a song recorded 90 years ago.

Punch man, What a great song by The Rutles. They do sound like The Fab Four.

edgar/Mark. I love George Gershin's Rhapsody in Blue.

Here's another birthday guy, y'all.

Hope y'all like Queen.

Well, It's Wodin's day, so I thought about Mary Travis, but this version probes the mysteries of history.

Another history mystery, and then I'll stop.

First some info on the museum:

Today, Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" is housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. It is one of the museum's most popular attractions. Design Features: The "Spirit of St. Louis" was designed by Donald Hall under the direct supervision of Charles Lindbergh.

There are still historians that claim the Lindberg baby was not killed, but is still alive

I don't really have interest in Frampton, letty. But I love If I Had a Hammer and really regret the things from the 60s that might have been but were not allowed to develop.

Here is Sammy Turner

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for your comment and personal acknowledgement, Mark. I like Mary doing that one as well.

Hope you agree with The Spirit of St, Louis and the mystery of the Lindberg baby.

You sent me searching, and I love to learn here:


Sammy Turner (born Samuel Black, June 2, 1932, Paterson, New Jersey) is an American singer, who was popular at the end of the 1950s.

I know Lavender Blue, my friend, but not the performer.

Here is more peace by Cat:

Well, y'all, we've had planes and trains, so I'm saying good afternoon with two songs. First, another earth song.

Now a CAR memory:

Great having England with us, and I have heard from Ursula, Roger, and Phoenix. Smile

I look back in happier times. Seeing the cosmic eagle saying my name.


from Letty with love to the world

Today is St. George's Day, the patron saint of England and we celebrate by suddenly realising it's St. George's Day and pointing it out to someone on the bus.

When I was a kid a nearby village used to re-enact the story of St. George, and I was terrified of the papier mache dragon.

None of this happened on St. George's Day mind you. It was all at May Day weekend.

Good morning from a rather dusty radio station here in Florida.

Hurry back edgar. As you know, I love the original and "the jester" doing that song was great.
you hurry back as well, Mr. Punch. Those fantastic photos were great. Wish I could still do them. Three songs for today.

First, one to match our Englishman's contribution:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWabMc6OENU

Now, another by those great performers:

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

Here's Victor doing The Lone Rangers upside down.

Love that great Dane, and he reminds me of Nicholas Ims,
the wood sculptor. I need to do more research on him.

Good morning, letty and all of a2k radio. I didn't know the first Toto song, but I do know the Africa song and the comedy Lone Ranger theme.

@edgarblythe,
Good morning to you as well, Mark. I always appreciate your comments and saying my name.

Didn't know that version of Mary Lou nor that Ronnie, dear friend, but here are two to match:

First, Mary Lou by dear Ricky Nelson. (another gone too soon)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttMt9SHRwsM

Now, one that my late husband taught to me, and I sang it on TV.

He called it: All About Reginald. Smile

Happy St. George's Day!

It's been a tough week battling the corporate dragons.

Some days you get the dragon; other days the dragon gets you.

@George,
Welcome back, Puer. Hope you enjoyed our contributions as well, and we loved your drawing of those flies, and here are several that our friend from England said were chasing him around.

Wow! You are so right about corporations. Sad

Speaking of St. George's Day, William Shakespeare was said to have been born then, but they only have the record of his baptism and that is ALL.

He was supposed to have written this sonnet:


SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Now, a tribute to whomever he is:

Okkervil River - The Velocity Of Saul At The Time Of His Conversion



Loosen the wire, your time has expired, the only word left is “goodbye.” In my new dream the light's shining on me,
little needles of sodium unstitch the seams of the sky. Hold your head higher, the heavenly choir is settling in for the night. And where I had friends I am left with loose ends; four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of fright.

But enough of “the fight,” enough “you and I,” enough of “prevail” or “walk in the light.” While the angels stand by I get high as a kite. I'm too tired to smile or know that I'm right. Am I right?

And all our best-laid plans, they crumbled in our hands. Our flags fell where they'd fanned. You held in your breath, long after projections of death, you sat in the waiting room gasping and rasped on dry land.

But the audience is tired; “we've had enough fire, we're entering the age now of ice.” And I, feeling older, pull off to the shoulder and wonder, with my head in my hands, should I call my wife and say “enough 'you and I,' enough of 'the fight,' enough of 'prevail' or 'walk in the light'?” While the angels stood by I got high as a kite, too tired to smile or know that I'm right.

“Enough 'you and I,' enough of 'the fight,' enough of 'prevail' or 'walk in the light'” When the spacecraft came down I was left on the ground. Will you keep me around, will you help me survive after my time?
Letty

@Olivier5,
Welcome back to you as well, Mon Ami. He was also know as Paul:

According to the Hebrew Bible, Saul was the first king of a united Kingdom of Israel and Judah. He was anointed by the prophet Samuel and reigned from Gibeah.

When Paul returned to Rome, he was taken prisoner again and imprisoned for nine months with the apostle Peter in the Mamertine prison.

It was in Rome that the apostle Paul suffered martyrdom. By order of the Emperor Nero, Paul was beheaded with a sword.

Another River, y'all.

Where are all of our music lovers, musicians, and poets? I know that we have
many here.

Well, y'all, we're back to the old format of a radio station. One person did the entire show. All of our Georges are accounted for, but I do miss light wizard. He called our radio a stroke of genius.

Tody is Sandra Dee's birthday, so here is the old fashioned couple:

and, because Bobby did La Mer, here is a man that I have always loved.

Some French songs don't need translating.
