Mocking Bird

Kick out the jams, brothers and sisters

Aretha too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0URYw27qd0&feature=related

Queen of Soul, or what?

Good morning, WA2K folks

edgar, missed your Yirama Spring Time. Fantastic, Texas. Always enjoy Herb Alpert's Lonely Bull. Thanks. The Kingston Trio, "I wann go Home" brought back a memory.



Wow, missed your Borodin video as well, O'George. Love that man. Great visuals as well. Thanks, buddy.

Hey, Mooseman Rock. Really enjoyed Rod and Amy's "I Don't want to Talk About It". Don't know Amy, but she has a great voice. Don't care for Nina Simone, but what a shock to hear her do Frank's "My Way".

Dee Dee Bridgewater's Song for My Father was excellent, incidentally. I think most of us know the movie, The Good, The Band, and The Ugly. I think the explanation of the strange onomatopoeia at the beginning was supposed to be the howling of the coyotes.

My word, panz. I had forgotten that TV show, but I sure remember the theme. What a fantastic acoustic guitar Ted Greene plays. Know all three of those songs. Lovely. Thanks, Florida.

Hey, Brit. When did you quit calling me Ms. Letty? Jai Ho was great. Was that a cast dot on her forehead? Hmmm. So used to the "singing ranger" doing that one, but I liked the other version as well.

Welcome back, McTag. Ah, yes. Aretha is the queen of soul. Love that version of James' and Carley's Mocking Bird.

Well, it's a federal holiday here in America. Today is George Washington's birthday. Nope, no tribute to the father of our country.

It is Chopin's bday, however, and what a surprise to know that Dave Brubeck's plays this tribute to him, y'all.

Hope I didn't miss any contributions.

WONDERFUL!!!

here's another jazzy rendition of chopin

Prelude in E minor

as well as the classical version

Miss squirrel, that was one helluva jazz trio. Jagodlinski is one who I have never heard. Especially enjoyed the acoustic bass. Thanks for the introduction, gal, and Prelude in E minor is one of my favorites.

Here's another by that Polish genius performed by Yundi Lee.

I'll Always Chasing Rainbows stays in tune with the other rainbow contributions.

Miss Letty, have you got a good lawyer?

McTag, do you mean there is such a thing as a GOOD lawyer? Don't understand what you mean, really, but often all those birds can confuse an already confused Letty. I thought I did rather well acknowledging each contribution. Perhaps I can blame it on the martini that I had last evening.

Often, there are variations on the same melodies, Taggers. Perhaps you can point out which one I goofed on, buddy.

he's just teasin Aunt Let...and pointin out that the Foxx's did the original eons before James and Carly.... a lot to keep up with on this thread...but you're a great program director and we love you Aunt Let.

Thanks, nephew panz. In Virginia we always pronounced that as "ant". Ah, the original. Now I geddit.

Hmmm, perhaps it is time for another Chopin etude, y'all.

Get the satire, McTag? Watched Brave Heart last evening, and I always appreciated Robert the Bruce.

Mel wasn't bad in that movie.

"FREEDOM"

Never mentally connected Dave Brubeck and Chopin.
I like the Mockingbird song.

A little - Chop-----

This guy is good.

My Gawd, edgar, that was fabulous. What a talent to take that repetitive chopsticks and turn in into two classical pieces and Jerry Lee's Great Balls of Fire. Loved it Texas.

Hmmm. You may want to listen to this bird for a bit, then delete it, folks.

Today is a famous Aussie's birthday, so let's listen to a crocodile man.

R.I.P. Steve

edgar that was great! Totally put a smile on my face.

(Hi Letty )

Hello, Tai Chi, well hello Tai Chi, it's so nice to see you back where you belong.

Back later with a tribute to Drew Barrymore, y'all.

Well, folks, we've seen "The Profile" man so here's a brief tribute to his progeny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZC0SJ-LpLI&feature=related

Tai Chi, be sure and listen to the Mockingbird for a brief moment, and also our tribute to Steve.

You know, Letty, one link always leads to another, so here's another Mockingbird -- Katie Melua:

(Loved Alison Moorer)

Great one by Katie, Tai Chi. I think Hambone did that one as well.

Well, folks, we don't want any missing links on here so...

From crocodiles to birds. Today is animal day on WA2K.

I just sent that to everyone I know!

Amazing...

Well, JPB, edgar is an animal, and he deserves accolades for that Chop. (he and I disagree on the version of House of the Rising Sun )

Any of you Brits remember Sir John Mills? Today is his birthday

Mockingbirds can be a pain around here. They dive at the back of your head and also sing at night as you try to sleep. I am fairly tolerant of them. A man I used to work with actually shot one for disturbing his slumber. I had one attacking me every time I went out my back door. I scared the bejaysus out of it by carrying a wadded up white plastic trash bag outside with me, and then causing it to open up very suddenly, right before its eyes. It never bothered me again. We often have fun watching mockingbirds harrass squirrels, when the little rodents are trying to run along on the wires between telephone poles.
