Good morning WA2K and edgar. Wow! Abbey Lincoln is fabulous. Wonder why I don't know that talented blues/jazz queen. Come Sunday was perfect, buddy.

Don't know Gotta Serve Somebody by Judy doing Bob. Love her Both Sides Now. (it's love's illusion I recall; I really don't know love at all)

Found the English lyrics to Charles Trenet's La Mer, and one of the most apt metaphors is his referring to clouds as the "sheep of the skies".

Another creative birthday boy, folks.

Amazed that I never heard that one by Glen and Jimmy Webb's birthday reminds us of what innovative thinking and writing is all about.

I don't know that Glen Campbell song either letty.
Good morning with Paul

Hey, Texas. Never heard You Can Call Me Al by Paul. Love it, and who is the guy with him?

Here's a good one for Sunday afternoon, y'all.

The Rascals. They're doing Groovin on a Sunday Afternoon Italian style.

Breaking news:

Some 30,000 pilgrims were at the site, whose spring water is reputed to have healing powers, when Lourdes police received a threat late in the morning saying a bomb would hit the site Sunday afternoon, said shrine spokesman Pierre Adias.
In an announcement read in six languages, authorities ordered everyone evacuated just as a midday Mass was supposed to begin.
About 900 gravely ill pilgrims, including many on stretchers, were taken to a secure place while explosives experts with sniffer dogs fanned out around the shrine, Lourdes Mayor Jean-Pierre Artiganave said on France-Info radio.
While the site was off-limits to pilgrims, a scheduled prayer service was held anyway, in the shadow of the spring and a statue of the Virgin Mary. Only six priests and shrine personnel attended the service, which was broadcast on the website of TV Lourdes.
After about five hours, the shrine reopened and Assumption ceremonies resumed, said another shrine spokesman, David Torchala.
No information was available about the source of the threat.

Lovely song, folks.

Never knew the Rascals to do Italian, letty.
As for the extra guy in the Paul Simon video, I don't know him.

Thanks again for the comments, Texas. That Two Out of Three Ain't Bad was fantastic. Don't know Meat Loaf, but the lyrics to that song were great "...crying icicles instead of tears.." (didn't Jim Webb compose some great stuff?)

Here's a another discovery. Don't know this group either, but I like them.

Here's an answer to your dance, and then a tribute to Oscar Peterson whose birthday is today.

and Oscar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a92KRQ9hujs&feature=related

replete with the lyrics, Mr. Moose.

Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.

Baby, shall we go out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks Latin that satin doll.

She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me,
Switch-a-rooney!

Telephone numbers well you know,
Doin' my rhumbas with uno
And that 'in my Satin Doll.

By Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Johnny Mercer.

Goodnight, everyone,

From Letty with love and a dance off to bed

Herman Leonard, a photographer who created some of the most famous images of such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and others, died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Mr. Leonard, 87, lived in New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina struck and destroyed much of his collection.

Mr. Leonard was best known for his smoky, backlit portraits of jazz artists in New York, Paris and London, many of which graced the covers of numerous jazz albums. He was born and raised in Allentown, Pa. When he was 9, he became enthralled with photography when he saw an image being developed in his brother's darkroom.

Good night, folks.

Buble's planning to record every song written.
Oscar's Satin Doll is a good one.

Good morning, WA2K folks and edgar. Thanks again for the comments, Texas, and that slide show of Herman Leonard's jazz greats was awesome.

Guess whose birthday is today, buddy.

Elvis died on this day in 1977.

Robert Plant
Ship of Fools

Afternoon, edgar. It is still hot here, buddy.

That eleven year old child was unbelievable. What a powerful voice. Thanks for that one. Dear Elvis. Had no idea that he sang Fever. The one that I am taken with is Robert Plant's Ship of Fools. That guy has a great voice, and that song is an allegory just as Katherine Ann Porter's book was. It took her twenty years to complete it.

I guess one of my favorites by Elvis was I Can't Help Falling in Love with You. Thanks for the memory.

Today is Madonna's birthday. Here is one by her.

http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=4M0b7wcKjJo&feature=related

My favorite by her was Don't Cry for me Argentina.

I have heard a few songs by Madonna that I thought were pretty good.
I saw earlier that a member of this band has died.
