Good morning, WA2K folks.
edgar, Didn't know Lovely Rita (the meter maid) by the Fab Four. Thanks, buddy for the introduction
Hey, dj. I really like The Letter by The Box Tops. More fond memories there, Canada. Don't know Big Star 13, however.
Hey, Latin George. The Clancy Brothers' Wild Colonial Boys was great. I'm certain your friend will love the dedication.
Well, Brit. I certainly know The Fisherman's Friends. Love those shanties, London.
The one I recall by them is What Shall We do With a Drunken Sailor Early in the Morning.
A couple of songs for the early morning, y'all. First, I noticed that Mrs. Clinton has gone to Moscow to have a chat about nuclear weapons, so this one was inspired by her.

and the very, VERY brief lyrics.
Stillness in the grove, not a rustling sound
Softly shines the moon, clear and bright
Dear, if you could know
How I treasure so
This most beautiful moscow night
Today is Wilson Pickett's birthday, and I love this one by him.

a bit of background on the man.
He died of a heart attack January 19, 2006 in the hospital near his Ashburn, Virginia home and was buried in Louisville, Kentucky. Pickett's long-time friend, Little Richard, spoke about him and preached briefly at the funeral.[2] Pickett spent many years in Louisville when his mother moved there from Alabama. He is considered an honorary son of the city. His funeral procession was flanked by well wishers welcoming him home.
He was remembered on March 20, 2006, at NYC's B.B. King Blues Club with performances by the Commitments, his long-term backing band the Midnight Movers, soul singer Bruce "Big Daddy" Wayne, and Southside Johnny Lyon in front of an audience that included many members of his family, including two brothers.
