I'm all grown up now, but those were funnies even big kids can enjoy. Thanks, hawkman, for the great bio's. It's not unusual for me to say that we will await our Raggedy for her faces to face. See, folks? It's contagious.

Until that pup arrives, here is the art and poem I promised.

http://www.gslis.utexas.edu/~wyllys/manwhoe.gif

The Man with a Hoe
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back, the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?

Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens for power;
To feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the dream He dreamed who shaped the suns
And marked their ways upon the ancient deep?
Down all the caverns of Hell to their last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this--
More tongued with cries against the world's blind greed--
More filled with signs and portents for the soul--
More packed with danger to the universe.

What gulfs between him and the seraphim!
Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of the Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering ages look;
Time's tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity betrayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Powers that made the world,
A protest that is also prophecy.

O masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul-quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this shape;
Touch it again with immortality;
Give back the upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes?

O masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the future reckon with this Man?
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake all shores?
How will it be with kingdoms and with kings--
With those who shaped him to the thing he is--
When this dumb Terror shall rise to judge the world,
After the silence of the centuries?

good afternoon listeners !
hope you are all having a great day !

Quote:

Artist: Cab Calloway
Song: Kickin' the gong around
Album: Masterpieces 12
[" Masterpieces 12 " CD]

It was down in Chinatown,
All the cokies laid around,
Some were high and some were mighty low;
There were millions on the floor
When a knock came on the door,
And there stood old Smoky Joe.

He was sweatin', cold and pale,
He was lookin' for his frail,
He was broke and all his junk ran out;
Nobody made a sound,
As he stood and looked around,
And then you hear old Smoky shout:

Saying, "Tell me where is Minnie?
My poor Minnie!
Has she been here,
Kicking the gong around?"

"If you don't know Minnie,
She's tall and skinny,
She gets her pleasure
Kicking the gong around!"

[Scat chorus]

"Just tell her Smoky Joe
Was here and had to go."
And as he departed,
The curtains parted,
And there stood Minnie
Kicking the gong around!

Well, folks, there's our Raggedy facing the music. Razz

We're looking at Frankie, John, Warren, Eric, and Celine. Thanks again, PA, for the excellent reproduction. Still believe, folks, that Carley's song about vanity was aimed at Warren. I also think that Bonnie and Clyde was the debut of Gene Hackman, but can't be certain.

Hey, hbg. Like that Cab song, buddy. Didn't the U.S. ban him for swinging The Star Spangled Banner? Still recall Leslie Nielson trying to sing it in Naked Gun two and one half. "......and the things in the air they were bursting up there...." Love it.

Cab did Minnie the Moocher and a great parody on that song was also done by Danny Kaye.

Folks here's a story about Minnie the Moocher
She was a low down hootchie kootcher
She was the roughest and the toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hi hi dee hi dee hi
He he dee he dee he
Hoo hoo do hoo do hoo

(French)
Ouvre la fenetre, (another French word)
(a bunch of giggling)
She messed around with the king of Sweden
He gave her every little thing that she was needin'
He gave her a million dollars in nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times
Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee yah
Hee dee hee
(something sounding Russian)
(something else sounding Russian)
(something sounding Oriental)
(something else sounding Oriental)
Oh dah lil layee
Oh dah layee, oh dah layee, oh dah layee
He he
(Danny does some scattin' then tells the choir guys to try "go ahead")
(Choir guys laugh)
They sent for Minnie where they put the crazies
Now poor ol' Minnie's pushing up the daisies
This ends the story and it ends my song
She was just a little gal but they done her wrong.

Just as Mel Brooks, nothing was sacred with Danny.

I took a house by the water
Took a man on a mountainside
Pretty house by the water
Lovely lover by the waterside

Last time I saw that man
He hung down his head and cried

Corrina, Corrina
Do you have to go
Corrina, Corrina
Tell me why do you have to go
Just made me come to love you girl
Now you pack your things and go

Leave me this bird that whistles
Leave me this bird that sings
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that's singin'

If I don't have you darlin'
Birds don't mean nothin'

Welcome back, dys. Unusual song, cowboy, but then so is my song. I stood out on my front lawn and was immersed by the water from the sprinklers thus inspiring me to remember.

Artist: Unicorn
Song: Waterfall

Thinking of the days I've spent with you.
Recalling the things that we used to do.
Your being around made me happy and full of life.

Something went wrong but I don't know why.
Our feelings were gone even though we tried,
to keep them alive we were drifting miles apart.

Waterfall, what was frozen then is now falling again
Waterfall, what was frozen then is now falling again
I'll live without you...

I follow my heart as it goes downstream,
maybe the outflow contains my dream?
Repressing the feelings that I might have for you.

Now I can fall asleep without you in my mind.

I've got more lifeblood than before.

Waterfall...
Waterfall...
I'll live without you...

Dream on
Dream on
and let the water fall into your soul...

Dream on
Dream on
and let the water fall...

Waterfall...
Waterfall...
Waterfall...
I'll live without you...

I Cover the Waterfront

Lester Young

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
An I'm covered
By a starlit sky above
Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh how I yearn
Where are you
Have you thought back time
Will you remember
Will you return

Will the one I love
Be coming back
To me

ah, hbg, how very dear, Canada. I miss sitting in my Florida room and watching the white ibis play in the pond.

Believe it or not, I'm going to dedicate this one to Setanta for a very funny reason. Bud used to make fun of this song in the same way.

Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer

When the sun goes down, the tide goes out,
The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout,
"Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud,
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud.
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud".

What a dance do they do!
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you...
They don't need no band...
They keep time by clappin' their hand...
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud,
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi Mud.

Lordy, how they play it!
Goodness, how they sway it!
Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim,
How they pound the mire with vigor and vim!
Joy! that music thrills me!
Boy! it nearly kills me!
What a show when they go!
Say! they beat it up either fast or slow.

When the sun goes down, the tide goes out,
The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout,
"Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud,
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud.
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud".

What a dance do they do!
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you...
They don't need no band...
They keep time by clappin' their hand.
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud.

Brother Flower by Townes Van Zandt

Brother Flower, are you listenin'?
Let me sing a song for you
Brother Flower, petals glistenin',
in the bashful mornings dew
Brother Flower, when the sun shines
and the dew has flown away
if you don't mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother Flower, may I stay?

Brother Flower, you ain't lonely
for you've always been alone
but I haven't been so lucky
I had love and now it's gone
I have arms to hold another
never to hold her again
I have life to give lover
You have life to give the wind

Brother Flower, when the snow flies
and you lay your beauty down
Brother Flower, are you sleepin'
there upon the cold, cold ground
Brother Flower, please awaken
show the sky your face of blue
let me know I ain't forsaken
seems like all I have is you

ibis - since we didn't go to myrtle beach this year : no ibis Sad

but plenty of canada geese flying north ; while i don't find them particularly beautiful when they are sitting around , i like their flight-pattern and constant position changing ... accompanied by their cry !
since many of them are staying in the lakes and rivers adjacent to lake ontario , we see thousands of them migrating every spring and fall .

Artist/Band: Laine Frankie
Lyrics for Song: Cry of the Wild Goose
Lyrics for Album: The Best of Frankie Laine

My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Tonight I heard the wild goose cry,
Wingin' north in the lonely sky.
Tried to sleep, it weren't no use,
'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose,

(Oh, my heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)

Woman was kind and true to me.
She thinks she loves me, the more fool she.
She's got a love that ain't no use,
To love a brother of the old wild goose.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)
(Oh, you wild goose.)

The cabin is warm and the snow is deep,
I got a woman who lies asleep.
She'll wake at tomorrow's dawn,
She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone.
(Oh, you wild goose.)

My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away.

Spring is comin' and the ice will break,
I can't linger for a woman's sake.
She'll see a shadow pass overhead.
She'll find my feathers beside my bed.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

(Wild goose, wild goose, wild goose, wild goose.)

Here's the next best thing, folks.
From Dave Brubeck's Take Five

There'll Be No Tomorrow
[Carmen]

There'll be no tomorrow, no matter how we pretend.

Tomorrow brings sorrow, and loneliness without end.

Darkest night and palest moon

Dreaded dawn comes far to soon

Sweet sorrow tomorrow will break this magical spell.

There'll be no tomorrow

So kiss and whisper farewell.

Parting is all we know of heaven

And all we need of hell.

[Dave solo]

[Carmen]

Sweet sorrow tomorrow will break this magical spell.

There'll be no tomorrow

So kiss and whisper farewell.

Parting is all we know of heaven

And all we need of hell.

Sweet sorrow tomorrow will break this magical spell.

There'll be no tomorrow

So kiss and whisper farewell.

Parting is all we know of heaven

Josh White- One Meatball

A little man walked up and down,
He found an eating place in town,
He read the menu through and through,
To see what fifteen cents could do.

One meatball, one meatball,
He could afford but one meatball.

He told the waiter near at hand,
The simple dinner he had planned.
The guests were startled, one and all,
To hear that waiter loudly call, "What,

"One meatball, one meatball?
Hey, this here gent wants one meatball."

The little man felt ill at ease,
Said, "Some bread, sir, if you please."
The waiter hollered down the hall,
"You gets no bread with one meatball.

"One meatball, one meatball,
Well, you gets no bread with one meatball."

The little man felt very bad,
One meatball was all he had,
And in his dreams he hears that call,
"You gets no bread with one meatball.

"One meatball, one meatball,
Well, you gets no bread with one meatball."

Oops, hamburger. Missed your contribution. I recall that Cav said those Canadian geese were a nuisance. I guess they could be if one were standing beneath them as they flew in their V formation. I remember that song, hbg, and the picture is breath taking. The parody of your song went something like "...my heart knows what the wild goose knows and I dry my eyes and I blow my nose..."

Well, will you look at this, folks? Ask for a name and get a meat ball. Razz

Before I comment on edgar's bald headed woman, how about a little haiku:

Wild goose, wild goose,
At what age
Did you make your first journey?

As in the twilight,
A bell sounds.
I enjoy the freshness of evening.

The Eagle
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

The compression in that poem is wonderful.

Chasing the Wild Goose

[Originally by Bad Religion]
There was a man who banged his head against a wall. He banged for twenty years, the damn thing wouldn't fall. He left an honest life. He left a broken wife. He left it all behind, just to see what he could find. Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight. To conquer loneliness they'll chase it all their lives. And when they find it they can just lay down and die. It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize. There was a woman who had a man as cold as ice. He built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside. She harbored loneliness, her husband couldn't guess that she'd take off her dress and kill herself without a mess.

Song: Live And Let Die

When you were young
And your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live

But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

What does it matter to ya
When ya got a job to do
Ya got to do it well
You got to give the other fella hell

You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

Say live and let die
Say live and let die

Live and let
Live and let
Live and let... die...

Those "wings" were rather powerful as well. <smile>

William Daniels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born March 31, 1927 (age 80)
Brooklyn, New York, United States
Notable roles Mark Craig on
St. Elsewhere
Mr. Feeny on
Boy Meets World
KITT on
Knight Rider
Emmy Awards

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series 1985 & 1986 St. Elsewhere
William Daniels (born March 31, 1927) is an Emmy Award-winning American actor whose distinctive, nasal voice and penchant for portraying critical yet competent characters has landed him a number of roles over the years. In effect, he has made a career out of playing characters who somehow remain sympathetic despite being "obnoxious and disliked" (as his character John Adams was repeatedly described in 1776) from the other characters' point of view.

Daniels was born in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Northwestern University in 1949, and is a brother of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He has been married to actress and fellow Emmy Award-winner Bonnie Bartlett since June 30, 1951. They have two children.

He also served as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) from 1999 to 2001.

Best known roles

In 1969, Daniels starred as John Adams in the musical 1776, as well as appearing in the movie version in 1972. He provided the voice of KITT in Knight Rider from 1982 to 1986 (He did this without being credited). He appeared as Dr. Mark Craig in St. Elsewhere from 1982 to 1988 (for which he was awarded the Emmy). Daniels then got notice from a younger audience by portraying the teacher George Feeny in Boy Meets World from 1993 to 2000.

Other roles

His motion picture debut was as a school principal in the 1963 anti-war drama Ladybug Ladybug.
Even though he was just ten years older, William Daniels played the father of Dustin Hoffman's character in the movie The Graduate in 1967.
Daniels appeared as a physician named John Bonifant in Death In the Family, the second made-for-TV movie of the 1970s Incredible Hulk TV series.
He was the voice of K.I.T.T. in the TV series "Knight Rider".
Daniels appeared as Norman, a radio executive attending a Halloween party with coworkers; he appears dressed as a clown for the party, and unwittingly picks up Cylon hitchhikers in the Galactica 1980, episode "The Night the Cylons Landed".
Daniels played the voice of Scythe 2.0. in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, episode "Scythe 2.0.".
He was the voice of a robot in an episode of Kim Possible.
He also guest starred in an episode of Scrubs. His appearance involved three other cast members from St. Elsewhere; they played hospitalized doctors.
William Daniels played the part of Howard Manchester in 1967's Two for the Road.
He played George Summers in the 1977 Carl Reiner film Oh, God!.
He played Arthur Spooner's nemisis, Philip Waldecott in The King Of Queens.
He played the un-named judge in the 2007 movie Code Name: The Cleaner and in the upcoming movie, Blades of Glory.
He played Mr. Feeny in the series Boy Meets World.

Trivia

In the series Boy Meets World, Daniels' character Mr. Feeny works at John Adams High School. Daniels played John Adams in 1776. Both shows are set in Philadelphia.
