Well, panz, it's a lovely song no matter who does it. Thanks for Sting's version.

Sting should have done this one, folks:

Hey, dj. You always play great songs here, Canada. Especially like Kathleen Edwards and that Loudon Wainright music was really good. Thanks again. Also saw that a meteor streaked over Western Canada. What a sight that must have been.

For some reason, y'all, I was thinking about Leon Russell today. Here one by him.

djjd's songs were great, as is leon russell. Thanks, people.

And Ben E King's are some of my best favorite songs.

Izzie, that was from The Body by Stephen King. Loved the music from that. Thanks, hun. xx to you as well. Know what you mean by deja vu.

edgar, I think you and I are on the same wave length this evening.

Here's a nice tribute to River, folks.

I understand that Joaquin has quit Hollywood. Hope he changes his mind. I really like that guy

Pat Boone is widely maligned, but he has a very excellent voice and has recorded some great tunes. Such as This Land is Mine.

Phoenix has done some great work in films. I don't believe for a minute he will have the willpower to give it all up.

I think the reason that Pat Boone was not appreciated as he should have been is because he had that image of being too pure. Make sense? I love that song from Exodus and he did it well. Another thing that might account for that reputation is that he didn't vary his style. Joaquin Phoenix was excellent in the Johnny Cash Story and, to me, stole the show from Russell Crowe in Gladiator.

Now speaking of deja vu. This song just popped into my head, and it's another one that smacks of genetic memory.

Here it is and the lyrics as well.

The Happy Wanderer


I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
Chorus:
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.

I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me,
"Come! Join my happy song!"

I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev'ry green wood tree.

High overhead, the skylarks wing,
They never rest at home
But just like me, they love to sing,
As o'er the world we roam.

Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky!

One of the major reasons Pat Boone is maligned, apart from some you mentioned, is, he recorded so many r and b numbers, making the hits off of black artists' songs. He was pretty much accused of stealing their sales and audience. I never believed he held back any of those artists, because they generally played to different audiences in those days. Plus, he was only one among dozens of artists who did the same thing. Plenty of folks will argue that what he did was just short of criminal. Different opinions for different heads, I say.

And, I love that version of THe Happy Wanderer. It's new to me.
