Sarah Vaughn sings about Whatever Lola Wants Lola Gets

This has been a wonderful evening, y'all. Loved that Irish blessing by the group that Izzie played. "may the wind be ever at your back." I think that lovely lady is remembering my first visit to Virginia. The second was delightful.

Like edgar, I love all of those Beatles songs. Thanks, JPB and panz. The Knickerbockers (hope I got that right) were unusual and I liked it. It's always nice to have a mix on our cyber radio station.

edgar, Wow! Whatever Lola Wants was from Damn Yankees, methinks, and it was one of my favs.

How about a little Joy to the World, folks.

Hope our Brit makes an appearance.

Back later with my goodnight song.

and my good night song shall be another from The Fab Four.

as always,

From Letty with love

Joy to the World was an enormous hit where I lived, letty. Good song, written by Hoyt Axton. Thanks for another Beatles song.

Saying good night with Harry Belafonte. This song is from the first RCA Victor album to top a million in sales.

Came back to pay tribute to The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. Liam Clancy died today.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, I love that song by Harry. "will his love be like his rum?" What a delight, Texas, and I think I recognized most of the famous folks in the visuals.

I have never heard Liam Clancy, but that song, "Will You go, Lassie Go" was truly beautiful. What a wonderful legacy he left to the world.

Today is Jim Messina's birthday, so let's hear one by him and his partner, y'all.

Ah, those visuals remind me of Virginia.

Happy Saturday, Miss L.

I Love, Love, Love Jim Messina. More so with Poco than with Kenny Loggins but there are no JM songs that I don't like.

I've always loved the message in this one

Follow Your Dreams

Ah, Miss squirrel, love that one by Poco. Thanks, gal. Hope this will be a good weekend for all.

One of my favs was born today cause not only is he a great performer, but he also makes me smile.

Little Richard

I like those two songs that featured Messina. And I am a fan of Little Richard. That's a funny clip of him, letty.

I gots Tony B, from 1954.

Tony did rather well with his "unplugged" stuff, edgar. Haven't heard that one by him, but I was stunned to discover that Hank Williams wrote it. Wow!

Here's one by Hank that I really love. ("I'm so lonesome I could Cry" is still my favorite) What a poet, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3hzYRVAkUs&feature=fvw

Homer and Jethro did a great parody on that one.

Hank was my very first favorite singer, letty. I listened for him on my Mom's radio every day.

You fooled me by playing Settin The Woods on Fire, letty.
I'm still on a Brook Benton kick. I've been playing a CD by him back and forth to work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzBCIBw5lU4&feature=rec-fresh+div-r-4-HM

Wow! Love that one by Brook, edgar, and I can see why I would fool you, Texas, cause everyone did Hank's songs. Brook did this one and, GUESS WHO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GERZo2wnaCY

sorry, Tony, I like Hank's better

I never liked Tony's version of Cold Cold Heart. He fails to capture the spirit of the song. Jerry Lee Lewis has a version of it that I like.

Absolutely, edgar.

How about a little fun today, folks. It's George Armstrong Custer's birthday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCW9JGP6FTo

Yep Larry Verne had a whole album of songs like that. It's a sign of changing times to first watch Erroll Flynne play Custer in They Died With Their Boots On and then the Dustin Hoffman epic, Little Big Man.

Dolly's eye is on the Sparrow.

I like that minor key in which Dolly sings for the little sparrow, edgar. Thanks, buddy.

Speaking of sparrows, y'all, here are a couple of them.

Edith Piaf was given the name La Mome Piaf (the little sparrow) because she was only 4'7". What a tragic life she had.

Now for a gospel sparrow. This is the melody with which I am the most familiar
