A bit of trivia: What song gave Elvis Presley his first Grammy?

Answer: He didn't get even one Grammy.

Hey, dys, Santana is a favorite of mine and I liked that song. Also love the one by Paul Simon and the Zimbabwe bunch. Thanks, cowboy.

Brit, I had no idea that Bacharach wrote Close to You nor that Rick sang it. Only heard it by The Carpenters. Rick sang rather well.

My word, edgar I cannot believe that Elvis won nothing. Thanks for that bit of trivia, and Fats would know about the weather, methinks. Hope he's wrong this time, Texas.

Izzie, Welcome back. Frankly, I was really concerned about you, hun. Didn't know that James Brown did Nature Boy, but it's the perfect song for your breath taking flowers from the garden of Eden.

Until I have a chance to explore further, here is a song dedicated to your fleurs.

And, with apologies to Walt Whitman, a song of myself. My daughter told me all sorts of flattering things said by my students that she had met.

Well, Letty, it's Saturday and everyone is out partying and you're stuck here with The Pure Prairie League.

Good afternoon. I had to go to work today. Now, my son is about to arrive for a visit. Talk at ya later on.

dys, that was a song that brings back memories as well. Sad about Gram Parsons having died at 26.

edgar, so glad that you get to spend time with your son.

Here's a great song, folks.

Goodnight, WA2K folks. This is fabulous and soothing.

Had a great time - friend plays keyboard for them and it was her first gig - she was brilliant. So proud of her. Hoping to go do a photoshoot of them at rehearsals one nite - lead singer has one of the real happy faces and laughs a lot - great bunch of musicians.

Welcome back, Izzie. So glad that you went out and had fun. That band was great, Miss Brit. (switches back to AM radio)

Today is Roberto Carlos' birthday. I don't know the man, but I like him.

I've tried to post embedded or URL video players, just now from the Colbert Report on gay marriage and it doesn't work. How are y'all here posting the player? I know it's also being done on "What are you listening to," Craven's long-running thread.

You're asking me, Mr. Wizard? Maybe what you need is dexterity.

Dave Brubeck

Hard to beat Brubeck but IMHO, the king of modern jazz pianists was Bill Evans, here with the trio "The Days of Wine and Roses:"
