Love that one by Donovan, edgar. Never heard it, but it was lovely. I think that one by Matt is among my favorites by him as well.

More research, y'all. Trying to find the movie that Natasha starred in and it was The Parent Trap. What a shock to find that it features my telling song.

I was not aware of that film. I loved the Hayley Mills stuff.

That's the one that I remember as well, edgar. Love "Let's Get Together". My daughter sang it.

Ya know what I miss about the mountains? They had twilight there. Here, nope.

From Letty with love and a yawn

I have a vinyl album of the Weaver's greatest recordings, letty. The Platters Twilight Time is one of my top favorites by them.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, I didn't miss Let's Get Together. Remember, we played it earlier before I went to bed.

Hey, Brit. Thanks for the Steve Winwood song. He's great. Don't know him, but thanks for the introduction.

Couple of things for this early morning bird.

First, my belief in Sheldon's body types.



Now, our quote for the day.

Hey Ms Letty,today is Limerick Day in the US of A so here's one....

I know this may sound absurd
But I have this obsession with words.
I’ve taken up blogging;
It’s more fun than jogging.
So through limericks I like to be heard.

In a small Pennsylvania town,
I grew up just hangin’ around.
After high school graduation,
The world was my fascination.
Amman, Jordan is now where I’m found.

My interests are my kids and cooking
Along with reading and lots of facebooking
I hope that my themes
will reign supreme
and keep you coming back and looking.

Climbing the apples and Rhyming....

Steeleye Span.

Pulling the plug.
Laters.

Welcome back, Kansas.

Missed edgar's After Midnight. Hurry back Texas.

Loved that one by Chaka Khan and Steve Winwood. You and the Brit have something in common.

When he left and said that it was limerick day in the USA, I thought he meant this.



That's why they are sometimes called limeys. Know why, mooseman?

Here's one to match your love, Rocky.

Jackie Wilson is just like Art Blakey. Nothing but the soul, man.

Got this by Jimmy Driftwood.

That Jimmy Driftwood song was funny, edgar. I'm Too Young to Marry had great lyrics as well. I know the sound of that mouth harp, and it added to his great interpretation. Thanks again for the comments and the notes on historical events.

To me, it is almost a given that nurses know more than some doctors. My older sister was amazing at diagnosing conditions.

A tribute to "The Lady with the Lamp", now.

That was an interesting video, letty.
Gots the Rascals now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZldHDOCNgo

Loved the song It's a Beautiful Morning by those Rascals, edgar, but the visuals were a bit weird. Wonder what the message was supposed to mean?

Well, here is a song by the man with the velvet voice that I think tells it like it is about a meaningful relationship, folks.

Billy Joel did that one, too, but I like it better by Barry.
