I gots Julio right here in the studio. I don't understand him, but he sings exceptionally well.

Wow! Love Julio and the song, edgar. Cole Porter, of course. Here are the English lyrics.


When they begin The Beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendour
It brings back a memory evergreen

I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin The Beguine

To live it again is past all endeavour
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are, swearing to love forever
And promising never, never to part

What moments divine, what rapture serene
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean

So don't let them begin The Beguine
Let the love that was once afire remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin The Beguine

Oh yes, let them begin The Beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more, 'Darling, I love you!'
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the Beguine
When they begin the Beguine

Incidentally, y'all, here's the first movie that I saw with Bo Derek. She only had a bit part but the facts about the killer whale (Orca) are true.

Linda Gail Lewis, sounding like she took lessons from her brother, Jerry Lee.

Indeed she did, edgar. Marvelous.

This amazes me, folks. Another Jerry (minus the Lee)Lewis.

Of course we all know whose songs he is singing, right?

nite all... big sleeps to you. xx

Jerry has always had an affinity for Al Jolson. I believe he recorded some of those songs quite a few years ago.

And, Eva Cassidy is new to me, but I like her.

Nick Drake - One Of These Things First

Nicholas Rodney Drake (19 June 1948 " 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician best known for his acoustic, autumnal songs. His primary instrument was the guitar, though he was also proficient at piano, clarinet, and saxophone. Although he failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime, Drake's work has grown steadily in stature, to the extent that he now ranks among the most influential English singer-songwriters of the last 50 years.
Drake signed to Island Records when he was twenty years old, and released his debut album Five Leaves Left in 1969. By 1972, he had recorded a further two albums, although none sold more than 5,000 copies in their initial releases, while his reluctance to perform live or be interviewed further contributed to his lack of commercial success. Despite this, he was able to gather a loyal group of people who would champion his music. One such person was his manager, Joe Boyd, who had a clause put into his own contract with Island Records that ensured Nick's records would never go out of print. Drake suffered from depression and insomnia throughout his life, and the topics were often reflected in his lyrics. Upon completion of his third album, 1972's Pink Moon, he withdrew from both live performance and recording, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. On 25 November 1974, Drake died from an overdose of amitriptyline, a prescribed antidepressant; he was 26 years old.
