Catch Another Butterfly

John Denver

Do you remember days not so very long ago, when the world was run by people twice your size?
And the days were full of laughter and the nights were full of stars,
and when you grew tired you could close your eyes.
Yes, the stars were there for wishing and the wind was there for kites,
and the morning sun was there for rise and shine.
And even if the sniffles kept you home from school in bed,
you couldn't hardly stay there after nine
And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded,
what happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky?
Where's all the water gone that tumbled down the stream? Will I ever catch another butterfly?

Do you remember campouts right in your own backyard wondering how airplanes could fly?
And the hours spent just playing with a funny rock you found
with crystal specks as blue as all the sky.
And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded,
what happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky?
Where's all the water gone that tumbled down the stream? Will I ever catch another butterfly?

Now I watch my son, he's playing with his toys, he's happy, I give him all I can.
But I can't help feeling just a little tingly inside when I hear him say he wants to be a man.
And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded,
what happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky?
Where's all the water gone that tumbled down the stream? Will I ever catch another butterfly?

hey, Bob. For you and the Denver guy:

You Sexy Thing

Well, the butterflys have to sleep sometimes.

goodnight, from Letty with love

I thought this was funny when I heard it. Joke goes:

"A priest and a homosexual and a pedophile walked into a pub... And that was just the first guy...."

You know after reading that post from Letty I had to wipe the sweat from my brow. You're kidding. No, I felt a stirring in my loins. That was the chili. Always gotta pick on me. Well look at you . The traffic would turn and run. That's because I haven't had my coffee. It's true you're more bearable after coffee but who wants a bear? I don't know why I keep you around. I'm you remember. Oh yeah. Give the listeners a song and we'll head for the Corner Cafe. Ok.

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree

-Artists: Dawn featuring Tony Orlando
-the # 24 song of the 1970-1979 rock era
-was # 1 for 4 weeks in 1973
-Words and Music by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown


I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me
If you still want me

CHORUS
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me? (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

Bus driver, please look for me
'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison
And my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please

(CHORUS)

<instrumental interlude>

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree

I'm comin' home, mmm, mmm

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

FADE

Good morning, WA2K radio fans. Letty is now up and stirring

edgar, our audience certainly does appreciate your goodnight song of last evening by Bobby Darin. Wonder when that movie with Kevin Spacey will be released?

Cyracuz, that WAS funny. I love those one liners, don't you?

Bob, you are delightful, and the "dawn" is coming up "like thunder" here, speaking of which, I need to get some coffee.

Just read a bit in the news about Putin and Bush. It shall come to pass that the bear and the eagle shall lie down together, right listeners?

Back later, yawl!

Well, listeners, Today is the day that I am supposed to have a date with the roofers. Please hold positive thoughts for me, 'cause I need a new roof just in time for the new hurricane season to begin.

Thought for Today: ``It is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is exercised that ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives.'' - Dorothy Thompson, American journalist and author (1894-1961).

Raggedy, Marvelous celebs, especially Albert Finney. (last movie that I saw him--Big Fish recommended by Cav.)

Hey, someone play a Hank Snow song.

Oh, good luck with the roofer, Letty. That's been quite an ordeal.

And what did you mean: "edgar, our audience certainly does appreciate your goodnight song of last evening by Bobby Darin. Wonder when that movie with Kevin Spacey will be released? "

* Twilight On The Trail

Fuzzy Knight


You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail
Making camp along the way
You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail
At rest at the end of the day

The stars overhead
With their message unsaid
The glow from the fire in our eyes
The wind through the trees,
A warm southern breeze
The Earth is embraced by the skies

You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail
On the trail to paradise

The night gathers in
We lazily spin
On an ocean of peaceful dreams
The great Northern light
In unbridled delight
Dances the dance of kings

You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail
On the trail to paradise
On the trail to paradise

Good song, Bob. But different from the one I remember Fuzzy singing in the movie "Trail of the Lonesome Pine "and The Sons of the Pioneers later).

When it's twilight on the trail,
And I jog along,
The world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream is my song . . .

When it's twilight on the trail,
And I rest once more,
My ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor . . .

Never ever have a nickel in my jeans,
Never ever have a debt to pay,
Still I understand what real contentment means,
Guess I was born that way . . .

When it's twilight on the trail,
And my voice is still,
Please plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill . . .

( Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill . . . )
When it's twilight on the trail . . .

~ from the 1936 Paramount film
"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"

with lyrics by Sidney D. Mitchell, 1936

Sorry I got the wrong one aggie. I'll try to make it up to you.

Lonesome Whistle

Hank Snow


I was ridin' Number Nine
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid actin' smart
I went and broke my darlin's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off the Georgia Main
Locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame
I'm a number not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When the ev'ning train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell
'Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than the snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
Lord, I'm in Georgia, doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

And while Bob and Raggedy sing the blues, here's a song for the roofers:

If I ever needed you, I need you now
I can't remember when I've ever been so blue
If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do

No day or night goes by
When I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die
>From wanting you.

Accompanied by a grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

And in between time; in the meantime, Francis is still tell his story.

Still tell? Do tell! That should be "telling"

Depends on if I'm with William or not...

Well, listeners, you just heard an overture in a very few words from our man in France and Rossini from Italy:




Bonjour argent de Yo, loin!

News item from Africa:

Abandoned Baby By RODRIQUE NGOWI, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 44 minutes ago



NAIROBI, Kenya - A stray dog saved the life of a newborn baby after finding the abandoned infant in a forest and apparently carrying it across a busy road and through some barbed wire to her litter of puppies, witnesses said.



The stray dog found the infant, clad in tattered clothing, in a poor neighborhood near the Ngong Forests in the capital of Nairobi, Stephen Thoya told the independent Daily Nation newspaper.

The dog apparently found the baby Friday in the plastic bag in which the infant had been abandoned, said Aggrey Mwalimu, owner of the shed where the animal was guarding its puppies. The seven-pound, four-ounce infant was taken to the hospital for treatment on Saturday.

"She is doing well, responding to treatment, she is stable. ... She is on antibiotics," Kenyatta National Hospital spokeswoman Hanna Gakuo told The Associated Press from the hospital, where health workers called the infant Angel.

Kenya's media often report the abandonment of newborns by mothers. Poverty and the inability to care for the child are seen as the root cause of the problem. Most people who abandon babies are never caught.

The child had not yet been claimed.

"Abandoned babies are normally taken to the Kenyatta National Hospital because it is a public hospital," Gakuo said.

Baby's best friend.<smile>

Hello, all
Back home again, one hour ago, from Germany. Had a nice time. Am tired. Am over-fed.
Met some really nice people. Flight was trouble-free, and enjoyable.
Later
McT

Ah, McTag. Thanks so much for letting us know that you arrived home safely.

I have been trying to think of a Hank Snow parody on this song, folks:

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you
When we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

You've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on

But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on.

I think Panz told me at one time, that it was a Homer and Jethro thing, but I'm not certain:

old tom cat was feeling mean, til he backed in to the sewing machine, he's moving on, he'll soon be gone. He split a stitch as he jumped the ditch, he's movin' on.
