That is really strange, Letty. I wonder why Charlie is listed in the Crime Library (maybe the "red scare" ?). I think Hearst might be there because of a mysterious death that occurred on his yacht.) I can see why you were confused. Laughing

Well, folks, Raggedy and I have had a delightful exchange concerning anti confusion; hope you took notes. Razz

Here is Lucas Haas all grown up and playing guitar with a shooting star.

Life is amazing, Raggedy. Let's listen to something that is a classic. Suddenly we are in the hall of the mountain king.

Well, changing directions, here is the first recording I've heard of Dylan singing a Beatles tune.

Hmmm, edgar. That wasn't the greatest song that Dylan ever did, but it was a surprise.

Another interesting discovery was to realize that Matt Monro did Yesterday as well.

I never realized what a fabulous voice Matt had. How about this one by him.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I did get a kick out of edgar's transparent thread. Razz

Here's a nice twilight song by ELO.

Good morning, WA2K.

How about a little April jazz to start the day.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dt1yry7L5g

And, all, the lyrics to match.

This lovely day will lengthen into evening, we'll
say goodbye to all we ever had. Alone where we
have walked together, I'll remember April and be
glad.

I'll be content you loved me once in April
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new.
But I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow, for I'll
remember April and you.

The fire will glimmer into glowing ashes
For love and flames live but a little while
I'll be alone, but I won't be lonely,
I'll remember April and I'll smile

Hey, Raggedy. "All" seems to be the word of the day. Razz

Thanks for the duo, puppy, and you just jostled my RNA

I really loved Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot in Death on the Nile, and in looking at the trailer, I recall every thing except "Whodoneit".

Perhaps someone here can remember, folks.

Sorry, I didn't see or read Death on the Nile, Letty. Now, if you had asked about "Murder on the Orient Express". Smile

You know, Raggedy, I have been searching for the last book that Agatha Christie wrote, and it was "Curtain." The book involved the death of Hercule Poirot. I have it here somewhere.

I loved "Murder on the Orient Express", and as I recall several people were involved in the murder of one man.

Here's a blurb about Agatha, folks.

Agatha Mary Clarissa, Lady Mallowan, DBE (15 September 1890 - 12 January 1976), commonly known as Agatha Christie, was an English crime writer of novels, short stories and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but is best remembered for her 80 detective novels and her successful West End theatre plays. Her works, particularly featuring detectives Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple, have given her the title the 'Queen of Crime' and made her one of the most important and innovative writers in the development of the genre.
Christie has been called ?- by the Guinness Book of World Records, among others ?- the best-selling writer of books of all time and the best-selling writer of any kind, along with William Shakespeare. Only the Bible is known to have outsold her collected sales of roughly four billion copies of novels.[1] UNESCO states that she is currently the most translated individual author in the world with only the collective corporate works of Walt Disney Productions superseding her. (See[1]). As an example of her broad appeal, she is the all-time best-selling author in France, with over 40 million copies sold in French (as of 2003) versus 22 million for Emile Zola, the nearest contender.
Her stage play, The Mousetrap, holds the record for the longest initial run in the world, opening at the Ambassadors Theatre in London on 25 November 1952, and as of 2008 is still running after more than 20,000 performances. In 1955, Christie was the first recipient of the Mystery Writers of America's highest honor, the Grand Master Award, and in the same year, Witness for the Prosecution was given an Edgar Award by the MWA, for Best Play. Most of her books and short stories have been filmed, some many times over (Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and 4.50 From Paddington for instance), and many have been adapted for television, radio, video games and comics.

Very interesting, Letty.

Yes, everyone had a hand in the murder on the Orient Express.

Hi. I brought in some platters by Louis Prima. Thought I would play one for you all. It's called Buona Sera.

Raggedy, I don't know if you noticed, but Hercule Poirot was dancing a tango that was a song called Jealously by Frankie Laine. (Wow! he's still alive), but I couldn't find it on YouTube, so here's another tango done by a triangle whom we all know.

Thanks, edgar. Great song by Louis Prima. I recall him and Keely doing their thing. She pronounces "out" and "house" just like I do.

Noticed that Ernie Kovacs was a part of that group. Anyone recall The Nairobi Trio"

Not enough of Mr. Ustinov. I want to see the whole tango. Very Happy

Love "Jealousy". No Frankie on Youtube.

Jealousy, night and day you torture me.
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I'm under,
Can only be a melody for I know no one but me,
Has won your heart but when the music starts:

My peace departs,
From the moment they play that lovely strain
And we surrender to all its charm again.
This jealousy that tortures me is ecstasy, mystery, pain.

We dance to a tango of love.
Your heart beats with mine as we sway.
Your eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of:
That soft word your cruel lips will never say.

Well, I fear that the music will end,
And shatter the spell it may lend.
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive,
It's only a tango you love.

I fear that the music will end,
And shatter the spell it may lend.
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive,
It's only a tango you love.
It's only a tango that you love.

Wow! That was awesome, Raggedy. You are one helluva great researcher.

I think most everyone here knows about my obsession with Rudolph Valentino. (I even told Craven that he resembled him)

It all began when I was a kid and saw Anthony Dexter do his life story. How very sad to discover that Tony died and no one even noticed.

Okay, so we've done this before but I say let's hear it again.
