@Letty,
Quote:
Chaucer.

In undergrad college we had to memorize the middle English part How silly.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, Really liked your goodnight song. Never heard "Talk That Talk", but I recall "Lonely Teardrops" by Jackie. Thanks again, Texas.

Hey, Brit. Thanks for that Chiffons song. I recall their "One Fine Day". Carmel Morris'"I'll Be Seeing You" from The Prisoner was new to me but great.

Deborah Harry still sounds wonderful. Don't know The Jazz Passengers, but really enjoyed Wednesday Afternoon. (incidentally, the reason I played that camel song yesterday, is because Wednesday is referred to as "hump" day.)

You know, of course, that I love Art. "Dat Dere" was fabulous.

Hope I didn't mix the songs as they are all good.

Laters, Mr. Woosh Man.

Today is Jack Nicholson's birthday, so here is a tribute to him.

Been doing more research on creativity. Here is an abstract:

Abstract
Creativity tests measure specific cognitive processes such as thinking divergently, making associations, constructing and combining broad categories, or working on many ideas simultaneously. They also measure noncognitive aspects of creativity such as motivation (e.g., impulse expression, desire for novelty, risk-taking), and facilitatory personal properties like flexibility, tolerance for independence, or positive attitudes to differentness. Raters can score the various kinds of test with substantial levels of agreement, while scores are internally stable to an acceptable degree. The tests also correlate to a reasonable degree with various criteria of creativity such as teacher ratings, and are useful predictors of adult behavior. Thus, they are useful in both research and education. However, they are best thought of as measures of creative potential because creative achievement depends on additional factors not measured by creativity tests, such as technical skill, knowledge of a field, mental health, or even opportunity. However, the multidimensional creativity concept they define indicates that assessments should be based on single score.

Hmmm. I classify that with the Prologue to Chaucer in middle English.

@Letty,
Hmmm. Guess I'll have to sing for myself.

Today is Glen Campbell's birthday, and here is a great one by him.(he's still on the line, ticomaya)

Grow Old along with me,
The best is yet to be
The last of life for which
The first was made

Glenn Cambell is a fine boy, letty.
I generally like Jack Nichols a lot.
Here is a song that was a hit for Blondie. Done by the Paragons.

@edgarblythe,
Don't know The Paragons, edgar, but found out they are Jamaican. Liked that one. Never heard it by Blondie, however.

I promise that I won't quote Chaucer again. (time and tide wait for no man)

Here's one by the Stones to match yours, Texas.

Usually when I hear the Stones I recognize the song, but not this time, letty. Well that brings to mind Mother Nature and Father Time, by Brook Benton. Pardon the silly video that it has.

@edgarblythe,
edgar, it doesn't matter if the visuals are silly. Brook Benton overshadows all that. Love Mother Nature Father Time; thanks for another great one by that talented man.

World on a String reminded me of Michael Buble and this one.

Michael Buble gets better all the time, or I appreciate him more.
Here is a nice sounding song. The words are sad, but - Oh, well.

@edgarblythe,
Yes, edgar, Broken Strings is quite sad. Had no idea that Jim Morrison died in Paris, France.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs. First, today is Eddie Albert's birthday and I am amazed at how well he can sing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nt8S5eXCiQ&feature=related

Helluva lot better than Green Acres. Yes, Eddie, that still small voice of calm.

Inspired by our edgar, I did more research on this lady. My goodness, she's Canadian.

Goodnight world,

From Letty with love and contentment

Good morning, WA2K, edgar, and Barry the Brit.

My Dreams are Getting Better All the Time by Les Brown, is one my older sister loved. Thanks, Texas.

The Scientist by Coldplay was unusual and I really liked it. You're right, it was quite different.

Also liked India Arie's song. India's Song was history through lyrics.

Brit, Jai Ho was fantastic. Didn't see Slum Dog Millionaire, but strangely the folks that I know from East India here, didn't like the movie.

Two songs for today, y'all.

Not certain that this is about William Shakespeare, but who else is called "the bard"?

Happy Birthday Shakespeare.

Now, a different Taj Mahal.

Sure do miss Prince Gautam

Not sure I get Willie S. out of the Bard's Song, but I enjoyed it. Taj Mahal song is one I feel I should know, but can't recall it.
She Belongs to Me

@edgarblythe,
Wow! That Dylan song, She Belongs to Me, was great and the visuals were funny, Texas.

Dali and Harrison was different. Never cared for Salvador, however, but I guess I should appreciate him and his impressionism.

More synchronicity, y'all. Today is Roy Orbison's birthday, and this is my favorite one by him.

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

edgar, the reason I chose that "Bard" song is because nothing is more boring than hearing someone read Shakespeare. He was the Bard of Avon, ya know.

My favorite sonnet by him.

Shakespeare Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
