How sad, folks. Bobby Fischer, the chess genius, died today. I was truly horrified at how his demeanor had changed into hatred as he aged. Well, that kind of intelligence often degenerates into an abyss, I guess.

Guess it's time for me to say goodnight, and in searching for one thing, found another.

ABBA

"I Have A Dream"

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

(perfect for Martin Luther King, Jr's national holiday)

In Spanish

Yo lo sone
y el corazon
me hablo de amor
con emocion

Si vives la magia
de hadas que hacen bien
veras que el futuro
sonrie tambien

Creo en angelitos
que me cuidan siempre de caer
Creo en angelitos
que la vida linda me hacen ver
Y llegare
yo lo sone

Yo lo sone
no fue ilusion
y me ayudo
en mi afliccion

Y la fantasia
a la oscuridad
la transforma en dia
en una verdad

Creo en angelitos
que me cuidan siempre de caer
Creo en angelitos
que la vida linda me hacen ver
Y llegare
yo lo sone

Y llegare
yo lo sone

Yo lo sone
y el corazon
me hablo de amor
con emocion

Si vives la magia
de hadas que hacen bien
veras que el futuro
sonrie tambien

Creo en angelitos
que me cuidan siempre de caer
Creo en angelitos
que la vida linda me hacen ver
Y llegare
yo lo sone

Goodnight, y'all

From Letty with love

Well, edgar. Jimmy was rather accomplished at yodeling, but I'm afraid that he is not as good as Wally Cox. Razz

Thanks, Texas, for the Thelma song.

For some reason, listeners, I have Swan Lake on my mind today. I know that there are lyrics to the finale; I cannot find them, I'm afraid, but this is most definitely worth the listening.

Rainbow - Jealous Lover lyrics

New! Get Jealous Lover ringtone
(YOU CAN EVEN GET A RINGTONE !)

Lost and lonely
Clouds hide the sun
Out on the highway
It's all hit and run
Cold empty nights
Demons in my head
It's something I did
Or baby something you said
And it's hard to discover
That you're just another
Jealous Lover
And it's so tough to take
But you're making no mistake
Jealous Lover
Oh Yeah
Don't want no other
Shades of red
Eyes of green
Sees black and white
And there's no in between
Ask me no questions
I'll tell you no lies
Still you keep thinking
That it's all alibis
And it's hard to discover
You're like any other
Jealous Lover
And you're saying I'm a fake
But you're making a mistake
Oh, no no
Every day it's the same
The faces and the names
How long can I go on
Playing this game
So I live for the nights
Soft candle lights
Today they love you
Then tomorrow they might
And it's hard to face
Someone else takes your place
Jealous Lover
And they're saying that's the brakes
But I got what it takes
Jealous Lover, ohh oh
Jealous Lover
Jealous Lover
Don't need no, no no
Don't need no other
Jealous Lover, yeah
Jealous Lover

Ah, Raggedy. We know them all, puppy. Thanks for the lovely quartet, PA.

Yes, often classical music simply captures our soul, folks. A note, however, on Hitchcock's "Birds". Daphne de Mauier was not pleased with his adaptation from her short story, and I can understand why.

Hey, hbg. I suspect that blue-eyed Italian had several green moments, right? Thanks for the song by the chairman, Canada. Regardless, he could still sing and swing.

Well, we will continue with the ironic beauty of the phantom by Michael.

Well, time to say goodnight, and how about this Dixieland jazz song Russian style.

Guess we had better do the English lyrics first, however.

Midnight in Moscow

Stillness in the grove, not a rustling sound
Softly shines the moon, clear and bright
Dear, if you could know
How I treasure so
This most beautiful moscow night.

Dear, if you could know
How I treasure so
This most beautiful moscow night.

Time to say good morning, WA2K folks.

I find this interesting. Edwin McCain of South Carolina has a birthday today. Do you suppose there is any connection to another McCain that we all know?
I know the sun will rise
Just like the stars in the skies

Hey there busy boy why are you so blue
Walking around in your Armageddon shoes
You say you got nothing, you got nothing left to lose
Boy if they were free, you still would not have a clue

I know the sun will rise
Just like the stars in the skies
Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes
I know the sun will rise

You're talking to the mystics, you got psychics on the phone
What a silly waste of time
You talk about lonely but you never were alone
Boy you just got to clear your mind

I know the sun will rise
Just like the stars in the skies
Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes
I know the sun will rise

Why must it be some big mystery
Tell me, why can't it just be alright

I know the sun will rise
Just like the stars in the skies
Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes
I know the sun will rise

I know the sun will rise
Just like the stars in the skies
Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes
I know the sun will rise

Hand me down my walkin' cane
D7 G
Hand me down my walkin' cane
C
Hand me down my walkin' cane,
G
I'm gonna catch the midnight train,
D7 G
Cause all my sins are taken away.

Oh, hand me down my bottle of corn,
('ll get drunk as sure's you're born.

Oh, I got drunk and I landed in jail,
And there wasn't no one to go my bail.

Come on, Mom, won't you go my bail,
And get me out of this Goddamn jail?

The meat is tough, and the beans are bad,
Oh, my God, I can't eat that.

If I had listened to what )ou said,
I'd be at home in my feather bed.

If I should die in Tennessee,
Just send my bones home C.O.D.

But if I die in New York State,
Just ship my body back by freight.

The devil chased me 'round a stump,
I thought he'd catch me at e\ery jump.

Oh, hell is deep, and hell is wide,
Ain't got no bottom, ain't got no side.

Now some folks say, it ain't no fun,
When a song like this goes on and on.

Yes, on and on and on and on,
On and on and on and on.

'Daydream Believer' songwriter dies Sun Jan 20, 5:34 AM ET

SAN DIEGO - John Stewart, who wrote the Monkees' hit "Daydream Believer" and became a well-known figure in the 1960s folk music revival as a member of The Kingston Trio, has died, according to the band's Web site. He was 68.

Stewart suffered a massive stroke or brain aneurysm and died early Saturday at a San Diego hospital, the band announced on its official Web site.

"The world has lost one of its best men, but a man who lived well and made many people happy with his love, his wit and his music," the announcement said.

Stewart joined The Kingston Trio in 1961, three years after the band released its version of an old folk song, "Tom Dooley," that went on to become a hit. Stewart replaced the band's founder Dave Guard, who had left to pursue a new musical direction.

Stewart spent six years leading the group, during which time the band recorded 13 albums, according to its Web site.

After the trio disbanded in 1967, Stewart went on to an acclaimed solo career that included recording more than 40 albums.

Stewart's wife Buffy and children were at his side when he died, the Web site said. Plans had not been announced for memorial services.

I'm really sorry to hear about that, Edgar. Stewart was a grand artist.

I remember when the Kingston Trio first made the scene; back in the Hootenanny days of beatniks, expresso houses, and the like.

There'll be lots of folks besides Tom Dooley hangin' down their heads today.

This morning CBS Sunday did a segment on

http://file043b.bebo.com/13/large/2008/01/20/16/14092128a6668311265l.jpg

Mostly it was about David Crosby but also touched on the group.

Here's a piece.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlVNod_krsM

Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea.

She was makin' for the trades on the outside,
And the downhill run to Papeete.

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of a waterline.
Nicely making way.

In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.

Chorus

Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.

I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way.
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small.
But it's as big as the promise - The promise of a comin' day.

So I'm sailing for tomorrow - My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you - Tied with a silver chain.

I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left - And music is her name.

Chorus

Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.

I have been around the world,
lookin' for that woman/girl
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

So we cheated and we lied and we trusted.
And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
in the Southern Cross.

Breakin' In a Pair of Shoes

(Stept, Washington, Franklin)
Transcribed from Cleo Brown, vocalist, recorded November 20, 1935,
From: Cleo Brown: The Legendary Cleo Brown, President Records, PLCD 548.

Take a look at me, tell me, can't you see,
I'm right in my cup,
I'm not myself tonight;
It's an awful curse when you have to nurse
A pair of sore pups,
Otherwise, everything's all right.

All dressed up, marcel and everything,
All pressed up, all set to have my fling,
Here am I, breakin' in a pair of shoesies.

I've got the date with someone I adore,
Now I'm late; I know he's good and sore,
Here am I, breakin' in a new pair of shoesies.

Some hot band will soon be deliverin', givin' out music that's mad,
Should I dance? Take a chance?
Ouch, my tootsies!
I don't know, feet may be breaking down, even so,
I've got to go to town,

Here goes breakin' in a pair of shoes!
All dressed up, marcel and everything,
Pressed up, all set to have my fling,
Here am I, breakin' in a pair of shoesies.

I've got the date with someone I adore,
Now I'm late; and I know he's good and sore,
Here am I, breakin' in a pair of shoesies.

Ah, some hot band will soon be deliverin', givin' out music that's mad,
Should I dance? Take a chance?
Ouch, my tootsies!
I don't know, my feet may be breaking down,
Even so, I've got to go to town,
Here goes breakin' in a pair of shoes!

Hey, hbg. It's a cool 50 F degrees here. Love your "new shoes" song, buddy, and boots are sometimes made for walking. Razz

Heard from hebba and he ain't well; neither is Victor Murphy. I think what we may need is a walk here:

The trees join hands and say, "Hello,"

And suddenly ev'rywhere we go

The sun beams through in fun.

The leaves form patterns like a heart

And whisper forever "Never part."

Be true,'cause I love you.

Bridge:

Shadows write words of love a - cross our path;

Birds sing,

"How luck - y those whose love just grows to - geth - er."

Blades of grass stand on and on

And chatter together in a calm

That's green and so ser - ene,

A mem - 'ry of our walk of love.
