Harper Simon - Berkeley Girl

She is juniper and roses
She is amethyst and pearl
And though she makes her home in Hollywood
She's really just a Berkeley girl

She's the breeze on Sunday morning
Blowing down a country lane
She's got the style of Paulette Goddard
And the smile of June Fontaine
And she drives a Karmann Ghia
Through the streets of Silver Lake
And the hills are Velcro Park

She is criminal in satin
She is leopard skin and lace
Hard to believe that she believed in me
When I was such a hopeless case

And she knows from love and service
Yes she knows from peace of mind
To be not sinister in purpose
And to never be unkind
And she loves a Tulsi garden
And she loves her rock 'n roll
And she's never far from my mind

She is juniper and roses
Guess I'll sing it once again
And though we are no longer lovers
I know she'll always be my friend

So if you're ever right beside her
Drivin' down the 101
Be thankful that you're with a Berkeley girl
Who's beautiful beneath the moon and the sun


For Vee Dubya fans everywhere

Good Morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, Loved your goodnight song by Perez Prado. Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White is great. Thanks again for your comments, Texas.

Don't know Rich Cronin of LFO, but what a tragedy. Great song by him, incidentally. Thanks for the introduction.

Hey, Brit. Always good to see you here. Who Knows Where the Time Goes made me feel a wee bit sad after reading the story of Sandy's life and death.

Harper Simon's Berkely Girl was a great one as well. Thanks, London.

Two songs for the morning. First, one to match our Brit's Berkely Girl.

Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness

The second single to be released by the guy with a strange name....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DP5EVo-psY
Fyfe Dangerfield - Barricades.

When love is a crippled dream
When love is a crippled dream
That's where you'll find me
Saying I'm not afraid

And when love is a barricade
When love is a barricade
That's where I'll find you
Saying we're already made

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away

When love is a howling face
Trapped in a hollow place
I won't surrender
or give you up

So don't put up these barricades
We don't need barricades
We have each other
And that won't fade

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away

To the dark, to the smoke
To those downstairs
No fares

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day


Climbing the A's and pulling the P.
Down and gone WA2K.
Woosh!

Good morning. Will check out the music later today. Hope all is well with everybody.

All is well here, edgar.

Today is Billy Preston's birthday, but I couldn't resist playing this one, folks.

Hugh Laurie is an amazing man.

That's a nice tribute to Otis.
Don't Stop Believing - pretty good song.

I think I like Hugh Laurie's sense of humor most about him.

Got a song here by Selena

Welcome back, edgar. I was a bit concerned ; just glad to know that you're all right.

Thanks again for your comments.

Loved that song by Selena, and I just discovered what happened to her. I remember that incident so long ago.

Here's the trailer of the movie starring Jennifer Lopez as Selena.

http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3398500633/

And one by Nat that I love.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhJKgdzAJ9o

I watched the Jennifer Lopez film of Selena twice, letty.
Nat does that song very well, naturally.
Bobby Darin now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSOq7PpvMbY

Ah, edgar, dear Bobby. I'll Be Your Baby Tonight was great. Thanks again for your comments on what we play here.

Seeing Billy Preston reminded me of this one by The Fab Four.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g1lZz0V6rw&feature=related

Get Back was a huge song for those guys, letty.
Here is one by Jim Croce that I have only heard a few times before.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USVvxcaa4OA

I never heard New York's Not my Home by Jim Croce, edgar. You sent me to the archives again trying to find out who is singing with him. No luck.

One of my favorites by the man.

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

To me, Time in a Bottle is his best song.
Here is Bo Diddley and friend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIWgNKUMlzM

Searching, again, edgar.

Bo Diddley (December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008) was the stage name for Ellas Otha Bates, an American rock and roll vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and inventor. He was known as "The Originator" because of his key role in the transition from the blues to rock & roll, influencing a host of legendary acts including Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Brownsville Station, and Eric Clapton. He introduced more insistent, driving rhythms and a hard-edged guitar sound on a wide-ranging catalog of songs. Accordingly, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation and a Grammy Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. He was known in particular for his technical innovations, including his trademark rectangular guitar.

Say Man was funny to me.

Time for me to say goodnight. Do you suppose that the latest hurricane was named after Igor Stravindky?

Well, Here's his Firebird Suite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erOEatu5aH8&feature=related

From Letty with love and a shiver.

Firebird Suite is some fine music, letty
I am saying good night with a Dave Matthews tribute

Elton John - You're Never Too Old.

Don't abandon life
Don't step away
Don't give up that tune
That you never could play
If you're folding your tent
And the gas pipes groan
If every bone rattles
Through nights all alone
Well you're tougher than leather
No old burlap sack
Not some hard scrabble weed
Growing up through the cracks

Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old to hold somebody

Don't think you've gone out
Don't flicker and fade
If you're gonna get lemons
Then do what they say
The wind makes you weary
Oh it knocks you around
Logs on the fire
Beats sun shining down
But you're harder than nails
No skinny old tack
You're still sharp as a razor
And I like you like that

Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old to hold somebody

I could bet on a horse
But I'm betting on you
You still got what it takes
You got nothing, nothing to prove

You're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old to hold somebody
Somebody
Somebody

This one's for me ....
