Did not know that John Denver song, letty. Nor Horace Silver.

Welcome back, barry. Those are good videos, particularly like the one that gives us a glimpse of China.

The Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card

Glad you returned, Brit. I love Herbie and Lang Lang playing Gershwin, buddy and The Rockin all Over the World was awesome. Hmmm, think I spotted you under that tree. Loved The Alan Parson's Project as well.

Thanks for the pinky ring. I'll put it on my gold chain and hang it around my neck.

Today is Keanu Reeves' birthday so here is a tribute to him.

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

My favorite movie in which he starred was The Devil's Advocate.

Wow! Just found out that Keanu Reeves starred in My Own Private Idaho with River Phoenix. No wonder he was sad in the video. He was mourning the death of River outside the Viper Club. Sheeeze, the Paparazzi took photo's of that young man as he was dying.

Rudy Vallee sang Deep Night in the background and although I didn't watch the entire movie, it was intriguing.

Here's a version by Frank Sinatra for Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart. She is still with us.

First, the song, then the trailer of the movie.

Now the trailer.

Nice to have Norway, Australia, Canada, and London with us today.

I know Keano Reaves' name, but can't place him in anything I know.
The Sinatra song is perfect for a Bacall tribute, letty.
The Private Idaho movie looks like it might be pretty good.

I'm listening to Dinah Washington this afternoon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iMXs9ELfcs

Dinah, is there anyone finer? Love that one by the Washington gal. A bit strange, however, involving old sparky and all, edgar. Thanks again for your comments.

Here's another Dinah replete with lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCwgmJmP7ZY

Mills Bros. lyrics.

Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to me

Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd like to sit and gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee

Every night why do I shake with fright?
Because my Dinah might change her mind about me

Got to tell you about Dinah
If she wandered to China
I'd would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee

That's a good Dinah song, letty.
Simon and Garfunkle sing about a strange dream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2s6lUqyI-c&feature=related

Never heard that one by Simon and Garfunkle, edgar. Very different, but I can understand why. Thanks for the introduction, and thanks for the comment.

Today is Billy Preston's birthday. What a talent. Here is one by him and for him.

Let's hope that a change is gonna come.

Incidentally, The disaster of The Challenger rocket was the fault of the O ring. We met the guy who worked for the company and he later got a golden handshake.

First time I heard Billy do that song. He does it well.
I need money, people.

FORT BRAGG, Calif. – Cammie King Conlon, the actress who portrayed the doomed daughter of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind," has died at 76.

Her friend, Bruce Lewis, says Conlon died of lung cancer Wednesday morning at her home on California's north coast. Her son, Matthew Ned Conlon, was by her side.

Conlon was picked to play the small, but pivotal role of Bonnie Blue Butler in the 1939 film at age 4. Her character's death in a fall from a pony irrevocably damages Rhett and Scarlett's tumultuous marriage.

Conlon also voiced the young doe Faline in Walt Disney's "Bambi" three years later. It would be her final film role.

Lewis says she never stopped gamely reprising her Bonnie Blue days for "Gone With the Wind" enthusiasts.

edgar, first let me say that Jerry Lee always gives me a smile. Love Money and You Win Again.

How many times I saw Gone with the Wind. Little Bonnie Blue and the pony. I have forgotten Bambi, however. Need to check that out again. A delightful tribute to Cammie, Texas. Love to learn here on our cyber radio.

Time to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with a classic.

Song to the Moon

The Temptations - Papa Was A Rolling Stone
And it's PINK!

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
Cause that was the day, that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son

(Chorus)
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died, all he left us was alone

(Repeat Chorus)

Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin'
that Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'
Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching
Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law
Momma just hung her head and said, son

(Chorus) x 2

Hey Momma,
I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma,
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...

(Chorus) x 4

Shana Tova to all our Jewish WA2K folks....

Happy New Year !

Good morning, radio people. We have an exceptionally nice weekend, weatherwise, in the forecast. Hope our friends on the east coast fare well today.

Good morning from Florida, WA2K folks.

edgar, Loved your goodnight song, Lonesome Fugitive. Thanks, Texas. Just noticed that the waves at the Outer Banks are twenty feet high. Boy, do I recall those monsters.

Hey, Brit. Really enjoyed Papa was a Rollin' Stone and listened twice to your fantastic salute to our Jewish friends. Happy New Year, y'all.

Couple of birthday boys for our fans today.

First, my early crush man.
