Down and gone.

Good early morning, WA2K folks. Sleepless in Florida, I'm afraid.

dj, thanks for that explanation. It is good to explicate lyrics sometimes.

edgar, Eli's Coming was good by Laura, but I have only heard it by Three Dog Night.

Wow! Queen of the Coast was a good un, Canada. Don't know it, but I like it.

Well, our Brit's down and gone. (or should that be up and gone since he often climbs the pears. )

Love that one from Oliver. Consider Yourself at Home is delightful.

Another jazz Brit. Summer Love was fabulous. Always have enjoyed the sax.

S.S. You're a Brit as well? Great!

Learned something from Mark Noble about Wales, The United Kingdom and Scottland. I did have to check it out, however.

Two songs for the early morning. First, another Wish You Were Here.

and now, one by a great Italian followed by the English lyrics. (don't know why I know that one either)

OH MA MA ! (THE BUTCHER BOY)
Dick Robertson


Mama, dear, come over here
And see who's looking in my window
It's the butcher boy and oh,
He's got a bundle in his hand.
Tell me why he winks his eye
Whenever he goes by my window,
Daughter, daughter, he's in love
And you're in love, and love is grand.

Hey Marie! I gotta da pork chop,
Hey Marie! I gotta da lamb chop,
Hey Marie! You wanna marry me?
The butcher boy, the butcher boy,
I want to marry the butcher boy

Oh! Ma-ma! Oh get that man for me,
Oh! Ma-ma! How happy I will be
Tra-la-la and cheery-beery-bee
Oh, if I'm gonna marry
It's the butcher boy for me

Good morning. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. See ya all later.

Thanks, edgar, for the dates in history.

Funny, when I think of Johnnie Cochran's tombstone that had a glove on it waving goodbye to O.J.

Dan Quayle and his spelling problem elicited a response from George Bush:

We'll do lunch.

Thinking again of Billy Preston, and this song was inspired by one of the philosophy questions about nothing.

Love this guy, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_DV54ddNHE

Yep. Billy Preston is good. Here are two ladies that sold many an album
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJFYSVtpsAI

We'd like to believe that song by The Judds, edgar. Young Love has so many flaws in reality, but I liked it anyway.

Here's an interesting one, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuVOLNNU9TM

I would just as soon get my picture on the cover of A2K.

I always take such lists with a grain of salt, since a huge number of those songs would not even make my top 500. But, it's fun to be reminded of them. There were only a few that I did not know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo&feature=related
Here is one I like a lot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83covgTCAUQ&playnext_from=TL&videos=Zk3AAlsJoP0&feature=grec_index
a rockabilly version of honky tonk angel

edgar, I love Bill Withers doing that song, buddy, but I can't say the same for that version of Honky Tonk Angels. UhOh! now I'll have to search for who did the original.

Luvs Stevie Wonder.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPyq4iqt6Go

Hank Thompson did the original Honky Tonk Angel, letty. Then Kitty Wells recorded the reply to it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yiLpCSIEs8
My mom would listen to her and say, "That's right."

I recall that honky tonk music, edgar. So that was Kitty Wells. Thanks buddy. ah, the wild side of life. Been there a few times.

Couple of songs for the late afternoon. First a tribute to a fine jazzman whose birthday is today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyLDX-51Qwg

Now one that I think we are all feeling.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9wD4KhQoqA&feature=related

Coldest winter on record; possibly the hottest summer.

All that heat may cook up some strong storms this year. Hope they all head to the north Atlantic.
Never heard Joe Cocker do that one. Like Earl Garner a lot.
Here is Buddy Holly's first single release
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kYhroLNZhA&feature=fvst

I hope they all fizzle, edgar, but I guess we need the rain.

That's not one of Buddy Holly's better songs. Wow! More synchronicity.

Guess whose birthday is today.

First some info, on the man.

Waylon Arnold Jennings (June 15, 1937 – February 13, 2002) was an American country music singer and musician. A self-taught guitar player, he rose to prominence as a bass player for Buddy Holly following the break-up of The Crickets. Jennings escaped death in the February 3, 1959, plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson when he gave up his seat to Richardson who had been sick with the flu.[1] Urban legend and Hollywood folklore have it that Jennings and The Big Bopper flipped a coin for the last seat on the plane, with Jennings losing. It was, in fact, Tommy Allsup[2] who flipped the coin for the fated plane trip, losing his seat to Ritchie Valens.

A tribute.

Goodnight all,

From Letty with love in spite of everything

I have always liked Waylon Jennings. Same with the Bread song.
