edgar, That Dreamin' song is a typical teenager song. Love it, Texas. I sang I'm Beginning to See the Light when I was in the fifth grade. Sang it later on, too, and Stanta Tomas e Lucas played some mean drums and told me that was the best one that I ever did.
dj, funny that you should play that one by S.&G. I was thinking of Pontius Pilate washing his hands of the blood of Jesus although he knew that he was an innocent man. Typical politician, Canada.
Well, y'all, time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs and a poem.
First, Red Hot Chili Peppers doing the Looking Glass song Brandy

And finally Old Blue Eyes doing Moonlight in Vermont by Nelson Riddle.
Remember the Green Leaves of Summer, edgar?

Seems that "the chairman of the board' knows Henry Wadworth Longfellow.
The Poem of Thy Choice
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
from “The Day is Done”
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of the day.
Not from the grand old masters;
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life’s endless toil and endeavor,
And tonight I long for rest!
Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares, that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
Goodnight, world
From Letty with love
