40 mph winds, Ima hang a sail on the truck coming home...

Well, puppy, you've done it again. Great montage and that flamenco still boggles my mind. How does he do that? Love it, and thanks again PA.

Jami Foxx was fabulous in the story of Ray Charles, so let's hear a song from that movie.

Hey, Rocky. Shut the **** up. That word has been so overused that it no longer has the shock value that it used to have; however, Mr. Moose, you might get soap poisoning if your Gram knows what you played.

Got a movie trailer with Van Heflen.

I had seen Jamie Foxx on TV a number of times before he played Ray Charles. I was quite surprised at how well he performed in the movie.

That Act of Violence looked as though it would be a real thriller, edgar. Wonder how it ended?

Here's a favorite of everyone's, methinks

Dick Van Dyke has been and still is a great performer, y'all.

Interesting news from the world of archaeology, folks

LONDON " British archaeologists have unearthed an ancient skull carrying a startling surprise " an unusually well-preserved brain. Scientists said Friday that the mass of gray matter was more than 2,000 years old " the oldest ever discovered in Britain. One expert unconnected with the find called it "a real freak of preservation."
The skull was severed from its owner sometime before the Roman invasion of Britain and found in a muddy pit during a dig at the University of York in northern England this fall, according to Richard Hall, a director of York Archaeological Trust.

Some people treat me like I'm nuts for liking Mary Poppins, but I thought enough of it to pay to watch it in a theater - something rare for me.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.
Visit with me a Zen Garden

Good morning, WA2K and edgar.

First, let me say that Mary Poppins appeals to the child inside and that is why we all appreciate it. That beautiful Zen Garden was a tranquil sea of healing. Thank you for the great way to begin the day.

I will be going to Orlando today so I thought this might be an appropriate song and visual treat.

We'll dedicate this to JLNobody, the yitwails, satt fs, and any others in our radio audience who are in tune with our inner child.

Last evening I dinned out at the wonderful restaurant that is more than food for the soul. The wonderful exchange of ideas with the owner and his customers was the most powerful sleep potion that I have had in a long time.

(martini didn't hurt, either)

Thank you, Roberto.

Good morning WA2K.

Enjoyed the Shamu video, Letty.

Charlie Rich
Behind Closed Doors

Charlie was a successful songwriter as early as the 1950s, and had an occasional hit record of his own. Some of Jerry Lee Lewis's early songs were Charlie Rich compositions, such as Who Will the Next Fool Be. Behind Cloed Doors was the breakthrough song that made him a country music institution.

Thanks to edgar, Raggedy, and Urs for the great music. I am on a foreign pc, so I cannot access youtube links, y'all, but our listeners can.

Here's a great collection of Latin music Abbe Lane. Hope it works, because I cannot test it for some reason.
