Where's Urs when we need her.

She's been clean and sober for over fifteen years now.

Is that enough time for everything to wear off?

Amazing, Grace. How about a Gregorian chant, folks. This one is lovely.

At least it's not played on the bagpipes.

I don't know but one person at her reception drank too much of the cheap wine and she was mumbling under her breath about his having a drinking problem. Well, duh.

I've grown fond of her earlier version of Somebody To Love with her first band The Great Society...her husband Darby Slick played guitar...I think

Good evening. I will be reviewing the day's videos and chatter now. Meanwhile, here is something for you all to enjoy.

night izzie...fairies under your pillow

here's your lullaby

Time for me to say goodnight, but please remember the format of a radio station, ok?

edgar, I think we have already discussed the allure of Bert Kaempfert from Hamburg, Germany. Check out all the great songs that he has written. Loved the one that you played, Texas. thanks.

Hope our Izzie sleeps well, y'all. Perhaps Panz's Irish lullaby will help.

First, Granada "....Granada, you have me under your spell..."

Morning Ms Letty and peeps.
Good old Tony and Barry! A nice bit of music news....
Jazz crooner Tony Bennett handed out dozens of new instruments Thursday to students at a charter school founded in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, hoping the tubas, trumpets and trombones would be used to carry on New Orleans' vibrant musical tradition.

Meanwhile, the second half of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival got under way.

As Bennett shook hands with students and posed for photographs, some of the $100,000 worth of instruments were laid out on a table at KIPP Believe College Prep, a public charter school established after Hurricane Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city in 2005. The school is one of five KIPP charter
schools serving roughly 1,000 of the city's students since Katrina.

"This means instruments will be available to these students for years to come, to continue making music history in New Orleans," said Bennett, who was treated Thursday to performances of "Free Spirit Overture" and "My Funny Valentine" by the school's symphonic and jazz bands.

"These kids are amazing. What I heard today was real music. They played with feeling, with such heart," the 82-year-old Bennett said.

The donation effort was set in motion by a jazz fan from New York who won a "Big Give" contest hosted by Oprah Winfrey's magazine. The winner, Barry Jaffin, wanted to use his $5,000 in winnings to put instruments in New Orleans schools.

Bennett and a host of charitable groups such as Music Rising and the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation got on board with the cause.

"We were all very excited," said 13-year-old Deon Butler, a 7th-grade trumpet player who performed in both the symphonic and jazz bands for Bennett. "Out of all the schools in the U.S., he came to hear us."

Bennett, a 15-time Grammy winner, released his signature "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" in 1962 and remains a popular performer.

Bennett was accompanied Thursday by his wife, Susan Benedetto, who runs the couple's New York-based Exploring the Arts program, which contributed to the instrument donation. On Friday, Bennett is slated to perform at Jazz Fest, which kicked off its second weekend Thursday.

Tony and Elmo....

Laters WA2K

Good morning, WA2K radio folks.

Rock, that was a most unusual song, buddy. I went on another search and found this about Humphrey.

Humphrey Richard Adeane Lyttelton (23 May 1921 " 25 April 2008. Humphrey, also known as Humph,) was an English jazz musician and broadcaster, and chairman of the BBC radio programme, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue,. He was a cousin of the 10th Viscount Cobham and a great-nephew of the politician and sportsman Alfred Lyttelton, who was the first man to represent England at both football and cricket.

Hey, Barry the Brit. Wow! Thanks for that info about Tony and his song to Elmo. I believe in little things as well.

I also believe that the Arts should be more emphasized in both public and charter schools, and the effort on behalf on Mr. Bennett is worthy of note. Salute to you, ModMan, and to Tony as well.

Today is Judy Collins' birthday, and although Joni Mitchell has done this one as well, let's listen to Judy's version, shall we?

We'll dedicate this one to my daughter.

I love Judy Collins. Since You've Asked

Tony Bennett is such a good man.
Rock's song was really great.

Forgot to mention Granada and Rita Coolige. I like the Frankie Laine version of Granada as well.

edgar, "Since You Asked" is one that I have never heard. Lovely, Texas, and thank you again.

Wow! I love the song Grenada, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I recall Frankie Laine having done it, and guess who else did so.

I mixed the songs, letty. Your earlier song and Granada. Sorry for any confusion I may be creating this morning.
