Chiquita Banana Song
I'm Chiquita banana and I've come to say - Bananas have to ripen in a certain way- When they are fleck'd with brown and have a golden hue - Bananas taste the best and are best for you - You can put them in a salad - You can put them in a pie-aye - Any way you want to eat them - It's impossible to beat them - But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator - So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."

Here is Bob Dylan from the soundtrack of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. The song is "Billy." The film has different Billy songs by Dylan, plus a few instrumentals, as well as "knocking on Heaven's Door."
Victor, I love the Chiquita Banana song, buddy. My Irish friend, Al, told me that it was all right to put bananas in the refrigerator. It seems that line was used in the song because it was the only thing that rhymed with equator
edgar, thanks for Billy the Kid, Texas. Actually, I think that outlaw was really mentally challenged. (damn, I hate PC terms)
Speaking of spiders and bananas, folks, The following dance originally was meant to work up a sweat to rid the body of the poisonous bite of the tarantula

Do you want to know the only way to love? Ask Frankie Lymon.

edgar, that kid's too young to know about love, Texas.
So easy to say; so hard to understand, folks.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I can't think of a better way to warm things up than with a song from Hank Snow. <smile>

We'll dedicate this song to all the big islanders.
Tomorrow, then...

Kahlil Gibran, cousin to the more famous Kahlil Gibran, dead
BOSTON (AP) ?- Kahlil Gibran, a sculptor and painter who wrote a biography of his famous poet cousin of the same name, has died. He was 85.
Gibran died Sunday of heart failure, according to his wife, Jean English Gibran.
Gibran lived most of his life in Boston's South End, one of several city neighborhoods where his sculptures stand. A tripod he designed is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Gibran began his career as a painter but became a sculptor in the 1950s, saying painting "didn't demand enough of me."
The switch to sculpting was followed by several honors, including the George Widener Medal, two Guggenheim Fellowships, a fellowship and award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the gold medal in an international exhibit in Trieste, Italy.
With his wife, Gibran also wrote a biography of his famous poet cousin, for whom he was named. The elder Gibran, who died in 1931, wrote "The Prophet," which has sold millions.
Jean English Gibran said she and her husband worked for years to produce the 1974 book, "Kahlil Gibran, His Life and World."

Wow, folks. Some bugle woke me up.
Thanks, Victor and a good morning to WA2K.
edgar, I am quite saddened to learn of the death of The Prophet, so here is a tribute to him.

Good Morning Letty, Claudius Ceasar just 'flying' by, and playing you a lovely serenade. "Can't give you anything but love". Just love them guitars.

Dutchy, it's great to have you back in our wee studio, Aussie. Loved the song, and Caesar is a nice avatar, but where is that eagle? (I too, loved the guitar and acoustic bass)
This one is for all the down under folks, but especially for hingehead who was puzzled on the picture connection.

The Golden Eagle will be back tomorrow Letty, Caesar is only temporary as we're having a Roman Toga party on the "yabber-liner" tonight.
Marvelous, Dutchy. "...so let it be with Caesar...". One of my favorite Shakespearian plays, incidentally.
Speaking of royalty, folks, today is the birthday of a queen, so let's hear a tribute to her, and we'll also dedicate this to hebba.

A solemn reminder, all. Today is the one year anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre.
A tribute..

There's our Raggedy. Hey, PA, you forgot "rose bud".
A wonderful montage as usual, puppy, and I loved Witness with little Lucas
as well.
This one by Bobby Vinton produces multiple emotions, folks.

I'm confused, Letty. The only Rose Bud I can think of is Citizen Kane's sled.
I stay confused, Raggedy, but isn't that picture on my left next to Charlie, William Randolph Hearst? If so, puppy, I think Citizen Kane paralleled his life, but that could be debatable.
Until PA and FL can figure out the confusion, folks, here's one from Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer.

Oh, that's Charlie without his mustache, Letty.
I posted two pictures of him because I think he's cute without his mustache.
Here's Mr. Hearst:
Told 'ya, Raggedy. Confusion reigns. I think the problem occurred when I checked the properties of that handsome man and saw W.R.H.'s name mentioned.
Wow! who would have thought that Charlie was that great looking.
Well, let's listen to "The Little Tramp"
