Well, Thank you, Reyn. Mr. Turtle is busy playing chess and left us hanging. <smile>
I did a quick search for John Saxon, and saw that he played in The Last Samurai, but dashed if I can remember him.
Well, let's play something that reflects the "last" of things:
The Last Unicorn Lyrics by America:
When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn
When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive
When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn
Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive
if we are saving unicorns, how about saving dances as well
You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Oh I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never, never let you go
I love you oh so much
You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance for me
Oh I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
So don't forget who's taking you home
Or in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
Ooooh
Baby won't you save the last dance for me.
You make the promise that you save the last dance for me.
Save the last dance
The very last dance
For me!
John, Welcome back, Brit. I know that one, and I'll bet the rest of our tribe does as well. <smile>
Well, let's try a different approach, listeners:
Etta James:
At last, my love has come along,
My lonely days are over,
And life is like a song,
Ohhh at last
The stars above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover,
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to,
A dream that I, can call my own,
I found a thrill, to press my cheek to,
A thrill that I, have never known,
Ohhh you smile, you smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven,
For you are mine, at last!
Suddenly, a song came out of the waning afternoon, listeners:
Crosby, Stills and Nash
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearsby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
he runs wishing he could fly
only to trip at the sound of good-bye
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
at the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
did he hear a good-bye or even
Hello
They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost
And choking on hello
They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other
That scenario is
Against All Odds
Phil Collins Lyrics
How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho
Just take a look at me now
Try, that is one of my favorites, buddy. Thanks so much.

Title: Artist: ANI DIFRANCO Song: MODULATION Album: KNUCKLEDOWN (2005)
MODULATION
In order to
Say thank you to you
I must do it intentionally
But tonight with every breath
I can feel my death
Sure as I can feel my knees
You were my modulation
So that's what you will always be
We took each other higher
We set each other free
Course, neither of us were wearing helmets
And our blood was just everywhere
And when the morphine kicked in later
The censors threw their hands up in despair
And that's when the truth came marching in
And promptly pulled the plug
But you were better than any drug
You were better than any drug
In order to
Say thank you to you
I must do it intentionally
But tonight with every breath
I can feel my death
Sure as I can feel my knees
You were my modulation
And that's what you will always be
We took each other higher
Then we set each other free
We set each other free
another great jazz-concert by the shores of lake ontario last night .
people enjoying themselves , kids dancing , great fun . even bailey and cleo(ebeth's dogs) seemed to enjoy it - particularly the snacks
.
treid to find a 'lake ontario song' - no luck !
this is the best i could find - by a grade 6 student - i think she did a fine job for our city !
BALLAD OF CHARLES BAGOT
He was born in seventeen eighty-one
In the town of Rugely
He was a bouncing baby boy
And, oh my, he was ugly
And when he was a young man
He went to work in France
He met the niece of the Iron Duke
With Mary he would dance
Who was this British lad?
What was his claim to fame
Who made all Kingston glad?
Charles Bagot was his name
In eighteen hundred and forty two
Charlie came to town
With his wife and daughters
He finally settled down
He went to live at Alwington
a fun and fancy place
There was lots of dancing
His neighbours were inmates
Who was this British lad?
What was his claim to fame
Who made all Kingston glad?
Charles Bagot was his name
The second Governor General
That Canada ever knew
The Tories didn't like him
But, he knew just what to do
And all of the Reformers
Stood right by his side
But when he found out he was ill
All his family cried
In the not-so-merry month of May
He drew his final breath
He turned around, he waved good-bye
And Kingston mourned his death
Who was this British lad?
What was his claim to fame
Who made all Kingston glad?
Charles Bagot was his name
Grade 8, Sarah Fraser, St. Patricks Catholic School
------------------------------------------------------------
quite a fancy lad he was !
Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.
Ah, hamburger, we do envy you, Canada. How great it would have been to join you by that lake along with Bailey and Cleo, and hear a wonderful jazz concert.
That song is fantastic, buddy, and we salute that sixth grader for being clever and historical at the same time. Love it!
Let's match hamburger's great bit of levity with another funny one, listeners.
SAY THAT WE'RE SWEETHEARTS AGAIN
'I never knew
That our romance had ended.
Until you poisoned my food.
I thought it was a lark
When you kicked me in the park.
But now I think it was rude!
I never knew
That you and I were finished
Until that bottle hit my head!
An' I tried to be aloof when you
Pushed me off the roof -
I feel our romance is dead.
It wouldn't have been so bad
If you had told me.
That someone had taken my place!
But no, no you didn't even scold me!
Ya just tried ta disfigah mah face!
You'll never know
How this heart of mine is breaking.
It seems so hopeless but then
Life used to be so placid!
Won't you please put down that acid?!
And say that we're sweethearts again!!
Don't ask from whence that one came, 'cause I don't know.
Inspired by a more serious thought, folks. This is a lovely song:
Grenada
Granada, I'm falling under your spell
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell
Of an age the world has long forgotten
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Granada today
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada
For she can remember the splendor that once was Granada
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wand'r along
Entranced by the beauty before me
Entranced by a land full of sunshine and flowers and song
And when day is done and the sun starts to set in Granada
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Sierra Nevada
For soon it will welcome the star while a thousand guitars
Play a soft habañera
Then moonlit Granada will live again the glory of yesterday
Romantic and gay!!!
Good morning WA2K.
Born on this day in 1911 (died 1989):
and in 1917 (died 1997):

thought i'd drop in between chess games
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah
Well, there's our turtleman. Thank you, m.d., and my air conditioning is in fine condition.
(Thank God)
A question for our chess turtle. Why do they call a castle a rook?
Rook
Rook, rook
Read from your book
Who murders who and where is the treasure hid?
Crow, crow
Spill all you know
Is that my name on the bell?
Rook, rook
Gaze in the brook
If there's a secret can I be part of it?
Crow, crow
Before I'll let go, say is that my name on the bell?
Soar up high, see the semaphore from the washing lines
Break the code of the whispering chimneys and traffic signs
Where's the message that's written under the base of clouds?
Plans eternal, I know you know, so don't blurt out loud
Rook, rook
By hook or by crook
I'll make you tell me what this whole thing's about!
Crow, crow
Why can't you show
If that's my name on the bell?
On the wings of night, I fly too, above field and stream
My head bursting with knowledge 'till I wake from the dream
If I die and I find that I had a soul inside
Promise me that you'll take it up on its final ride
Rook, rook
Gaze in the brook
If there's a secret can I be part of it?
Crow, crow
Before I'll let go, say is that my name on the bell?
Is that my name on the bell?
Does this resemble a bird to you, folks?
interesting answer from wikipedia (i didn't know this myself):
Originally, the rook symbolized a chariot. The Persian word rokh means chariot, and the corresponding pieces in Oriental chess games such as xiangqi and shogi have names meaning chariot. However, in the West, the rook is almost universally represented as a fortified tower. One possible explanation is that when the game was imported to Italy, the Persian rokh became the Italian word rocca, meaning fortress. Another possible explanation is that rooks represent siege towers. Rooks are usually made to look like small castles, and as a result, a rook is sometimes called a "castle". This usage was common in the past ("The Rook, or Castle, is next in power to the Queen" -- Howard Staunton, 1847) but today it is rarely, if ever, used in the literature or among players, except in reference to castling. (Here, "castle" is a verb referring to a move, not a noun referring to a piece.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_%28chess%29
but this raises another question: why is the "castling" move not known as "rooking" since it involves the king and a rook?
Well, well, m.d. It seems that you have diagnosed a long sought after situation. Seriously, that is something that I have often wondered about, turtle. Interesting information, listeners, and as we have said before, it's not just about music on our little radio.
Wonder if we could say by rook or by castle?<smile>
Well, here's a song by a castle that rocks:
Bluetones - Castle Rock
Yesterday has gone, but time is on my side
When I'm on my own, I find a place to hide
You're rushing through my head
You're seeping through my skin
Heaven feels so close, it doesn't feel so late
Underneath these stars, well I don't know my name
I'm lying in your arms
I'm lying to your face
And right before my eyes
You turned and walked away
One thing she can't do
Is tell me what I'm trying to prove
And what to say to you
I'll be straight with you
I think I might be losing my way
Because you left me there for dead
I don't ever think I'll get over you
One thing she can't do
Is tell me what I'm trying to prove
And what to say to you
I'll be straight with you
I think I might be losing my way
Well, so I could have played Crocodile Rock.
Good Morning DJ Letty, may I add a little bit more detail about "Chess and Music"? Had no idea it has such a long history, judge for yourself.
Music and Chess

Well, folks, there is our Dutchy back with background that covers our complete board. <smile> What a wonder, honey. Thanks.
Here's a song that identifies the emptiness of our radio station until you got here, dear. <smile>
- England Dan & John Ford Coley Lyrics - I'd Really Love To See You Tonight
.
Hello, yeah, it's been a while.
Not much, how about you?
I'm not sure why I called.
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.
And I was thinking maybe later on.
We could get together for a while.
It's been such a long time.
And I really do miss your smile.
*I'm not talking about moving in.
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out.
And I'd really love to see you tonight.
We could go walking through a windy park.
Or take a drive along the beach.
Or stay at home and watch TV.
You see it really doesn't matter much to me.
I won't ask for promises.
So you don't have to lie.
We've both played that game before.
Say I love you and say goodbye
Repeat chorus
Love it!
SWEETS FOR MY SWEET
(Pomus / Shuman)
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
If you wanted that star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eye
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
And I would bring
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
If you wanted a king to keep you smilin'
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand a-pilin'
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would bring
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
And if you wanted a love to last forever
Darlin' I would send my love your way
And my love'd not only last forever
But forever and a day
And I would bring
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
Fight Test
The Flaming Lips
I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
so when it came time tofight
I thought I'll just step aside
and that time wouldprove you wrong
and that you would be the fool
I don't know where the sun beams end
and the star light begins
it's all a mystery
Oh to fight is to defend
if it's not now than tell me when
would be the time
that you would stand up and be a man
for to lose I could accept
but to surrender I just wept
and regretted this moment
oh that I - I was the fool
I don't know where the sun beams end
and the star light begins
it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
what right for his own life
it's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man not a boy
and there are things you can't avoid
you have to face them
when you're not prepared to face them
If I could I would
but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him
but instead I let him I let him take it -
I don't know where the sun beams end
and the star light begins
it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
what right for his own life
it's all a mystery
heard this tune in a mix the other day
Hushabye Mountain
A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
Softly blows o'er lullaby bay.
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting--
Waiting to sail your worries away.
It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain
And your boat waits down by the key.
The winds of night so softly are sighing--
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.
Wave good-bye to cares of the day.
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from lullaby bay.
