Well, edgar, it's much easier to sing than The Star Spangled Banner. We should have kept that in poetic form.

What a surprise to find out the Francis Scott Key and F. Scott Fitzgerald were related.

Been searching all morning for the songs of Jimmy Smith, folks, and what a surprise to find out that he and Kenny Burrell did stuff together.

Love this one by guitarist Kenny.

Here's That Rainy Day

Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

Great chord changes on that one, listeners.

E. G. Marshall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Born June 18, 1914
Owatonna, Minnesota
Died August 24, 1998
Bedford, New York

E. G. Marshall (June 18, 1914 - August 24, 1998) was a two-time Emmy Award-winning American actor who co-starred in the 1957 movie 12 Angry Men. Two of his better known TV roles are those of lawyer, Lawrence Preston on The Defenders in the 1960s, and as neurosurgeon, Dr. David Craig on The Bold Ones: The New Doctors in the 1970s.




Biography

Early life

Marshall was born Everett Eugene Grunz[1] in Owatonna, Minnesota to Charles G. Grunz and Hazel Irene Cobb. He never divulged fully what 'E.G' stood for, telling most people it stood for "Everybody's Guess". It was thought to mean "Everett Eugene Grunz" or "Edda Gunnar Marshall".


Career

Marshall was the original host of the popular nightly radio drama The CBS Radio Mystery Theater (or CBSRMT), which ran on CBS radio affiliate stations across the United States between 1974 and 1982. CBSRMT was an ambitious and sustained attempt to revive the great drama of old-time radio. Each episode began with the ominous sound of a creaking door, slowly opening to invite listeners in for the evening's adventure. At the end of each show, the door would swing shut, with Marshall signing off, "Until next time, pleasant... dre-e-eams?" Marshall hosted the program for the first seven years. Failing health forced his departure in 1981, and he was replaced by actress Tammy Grimes for the final season.

Marshall also found fame playing in other television and film roles, usually as an authoritative figure. One of his best known television roles was as defense lawyer Lawrence Preston in the series The Defenders, which lasted from 1961 to 1965. He and future Brady Bunch star Robert Reed portrayed a father and son who worked in a law firm. This role garnered him two Emmy wins-one in 1962 and one in 1963. He also earned more prominence as dedicated neurosurgeon, Dr. Benjamin Craig, in The Bold Ones series, from 1969 to 1973, featuring unfamiliar actors David Hartman and John Saxon. Marshall reprised the role of Lawrence Preston for a 1997 Showtime television movie based on The Defenders called The Defenders: Payback. It featured the elder Preston and his descendants taking on legal cases in the 1990s. (Reed did not appear in the revival since he died in 1992. The movie acknowledged this absence by mentioning that Reed's character had died.) There was a second movie and plans for a series. The series was aborted after his death.


Personal life & death

Marshall was married three times. He had seven children in total, whose names include Sam, Jed, Sarah, Jill, and Degen.

He died of lung cancer in Bedford, New York, on August 24, 1998, at age 84. His grave is in the Middle Patent Rural Cemetery, located in the hamlet of Banksville, a part of the Town of North Castle, New York.

During the 1960s and 1970s, he enjoyed success in television, including the sitcom, Bachelor Father, based on the story of a real-life bachelor who took on several foster children.

Well, hawkman, I guess the crossed fingers worked. Glad to see that you are still up and running.

Loved those first grade finishers, Boston, and, of course, they are great because those kids are from Virginia. You're right, buddy, the last one is a real winner.

Hope that our Raggedy will appear in a poof from PA and provide us with the proofs that make your bio's a virtual pudding.

Until then, let's listen to this one, folks.

Artist: Paul McCartney / Wings Lyrics

When you were young
and your heart was an open book
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

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

I love it, folks. Our Raggedy is priceless, no? I always knew she had a mite of legerdemain in that camera. Thank you, oh magic one, for the great photo's.

I Fall In Love Too Easily
Lyrics for Album: Hummin' To Myself

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast

Almost as brief as that four liner by Mr. Dylan.

Richard Boone was one of my all time favorite actors. He didn't always have the best of parts, but I loved to watch him perform.

Have gun will travel reads the card of a man
A knight without armor in a savage land
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind
A soldier of fortune is a man called Paladin
Paladin Paladin where do you roam Paladin Paladin far far from home

He travels on to wherever he must
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust
There are campfire legends that the plainsmen sing
Of a man with the gun of the man called Paladin
Paladin Paladin where do you roam Paladin Paladin far far from home
Far far from home far far from home


Johnny Western

I liked Richard Boone as well, edgar, and Carol Kane was funny in Scrooged. Remember that one, Texas.

Love this song from the movie:

Put A Little Love In Your Heart
(Annie Lennox duet with Al Green)


Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

You see it's getting late
Oh please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in you heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart

I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in -
Put a little love in your heart...

The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'.
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,
Stared at the person who killed for no reason
Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'.
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished,
And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence.
Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag deep in your face
For now's the time for your tears.




Bob Dylan

My God, folks. That song that edgar just played is a true ballad and event.



William Zanzinger must have been a real jerk, Texas.

Poetry In Motion
Johnny Tillotson

[Words and Music by Paul Kaufman and Mike Anthony]

When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry
Poetry in motion

Poetry in motion
Walkin' by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide

Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement
And there's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion
Dancing close to me
A flower of devotion
A swaying gracefully

Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whooooooooa

Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion
All that I adore
No number-nine love potion
Could make me love her more

Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

to give letty a good start for tuesday !
a cole porter tune for her :

hbg, Thank goodness you found the words to that wonderful song. Bud's friend, a wonderful trumpet player, did that so well. I heard a tape of it but just the instrumental. Starts out in a minor key; goes to major at the bridge then back to minor. Love it.

Just finished watching an old, but excellent and spooky movie called The Uninvited. The theme from that will be my goodnight song.

This version by Ray Charles

Stella by Starlight

The song a robin sings,

Through years of endless springs,

The murmur of a brook at evening tide.

That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.



That great symphonic theme,

That's Stella by starlight,

And not a dream,

My heart and I agree,

She's everything on Earth to me.



The murmur of a brook at evening tide.

That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.



That great symphonic theme,

That's Stella by starlight,

And not a dream,

My heart and I agree,

She's everything on Earth to me.


Goodnight, my friends

From Letty with love
