Laters WA2K.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, Never heard the Bullfighter was a Lady. Love it as I do all of that kind of music. Elvis is a great looking guy, and as I was telling Deb, he did not find security in his good looks. The same factor haunted Rock Hudson and many of hollywood's so called attractive men and women.

Hey, Rock. Love Stevie Wonder's Ribbon in the Sky. Never heard that one, Kansas. Loved the visuals, too.

Today is Bruce Willis' birthday, so here is a tribute to him.

Thinking of Untamed Heart starring Christian Slater and Marisa Tormei. This was one of the songs from the movie.

Not certain if Nat did it, but I love his version.

Good morning, Miss L!!

I was looking down the birthday list for today and almost selected something from the Pointer Sisters. Then I noticed "Gene Taylor - jazz musician" and decided to check him out.

He seems to be a boogie-woogie piano player, which I don't think is your favorite style of jazz, but today is his birthday so here you go.

Down the Road a Piece - Gene Taylor and Trickbag

Welcome back, Miss Squirrel. Missed you here. Believe it or not, I used to stand by my mom's Kimball upright piano when I was a wee thing and listen to my older sister play boogie woogie.

Love that one by Gene Taylor, and we'll dedicate it to Ursula and her Swede. Actually, that genre of music was the fore-runner to jazz.

Here's what she used to play all the time. I thought it was A to the bar.

Partial lyrics, folks.

Well, there's a little
Honky tonky village in Texas
Where's a guy who plays
The best piano by far

He can play piano
Any way you like it
But the way he plays it best
Is eight to the bar

When he jams, it's a ball
He's the daddy of them all

The people gather round
When he gets on the stand
And when he plays
He gets a hand

The rhythm he plays
Puts the cats in a trance
Nobody there bothers to dance

And when they jam
With the bass and guitar
They holler, oh, beat me, Daddy
Eight to the bar

I LOVE IT!

As long as we're on a boogie woogie run, here's one by the master.

Here's another birthday boy listed under the jazz genre.

Chrish Brubeck (son of Dave)

New Stew

Heh, they don't look like the Andrews Sister I remember, dys.

Oops, Missed the Brit's Swing Out Sister. Acoustic guitar was great. I need to go back and check out the bass man. (the walk don't run was for the man from London who made that remark after edgar played that Johnny Horton song.)

Jell Roll Morton was fabulous, JPB. That is fantastic "stride" piano, and Chris Brubeck follows in his old man's footsteps to some degree. New Stew was a goodun.

Hmmm. the cowboy just did a double take on the Andrew Sisters. (Nope, not gonna play The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B)

Instead, here's a combination of stride and Ragtime. (Mamma played a lot of that)

Love the mix on our cyber radio station, y'all

All that boogie woogie music makes me think of Moon Mullican. He was one heck of a boogie pianist. But the song I selected is a cajun song.

I did not watch Bruce Willis, because I have an aversion to watching him act.

Bobby Darin also sings Nat's Nature Boy song, letty.

I like Scott Joplin's music.

I didn't know that Bobby did that one, edgar. Thanks again for the comments.

I understand about Bruce, buddy. Sometimes he's good and other times not so good.

Listened to Moon Mullican's version of Jole Blon, but I think I found a better version, Texas. This was a big surprise, y'all.

Got some Conway Twitty.

Love that one, edgar. Now about we go from Chanson to San San.

Oops, missed Twitty, Texas. Back later to comment

Is a Blue Bird Blue? Like that one by Conway. Twitty rather sounds like Tweety, right?

Today is Glen Close's birthday, but Billy Joel give us two for the price of one.

I like that Billy Joel song, letty. Billy is an acquired taste, for me. For a long time I did not care to listen, but now I like most of his songs.
