Hello lovelies

so, here's a Spanish Train





x

aaaaaaaaaand now for something a little lighter

aaaaand... just coz I love Savage Garden, again...




I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
Until you say goodbye
Oh no no no no no

Here is Spanish Lace

One of the Dylan CDs I bought had a DVD of that same performance of Tangled Up in Blue.

Here is a song made famous by Fats Domino, but this version is by Gale Storm.

I like your songs, izzie.

Bob and George in unison.

First, I want to tell our Izzie that her music is always a gentle balm to us no mater what the meaning behind it.

Chris De Burgh is a marvelous performer. His Spanish Train was a bit eerie, but often life is.

Loved a Space Man Came Traveling, hun, and this group of lyrics by Savage Garden gave me a smile.

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

edgar, Gene McDaniels' Spanish Lace was awesome as were the visuals. My older sister brought me a spanish shawl of lace when she returned from Spain.

Gale Storm's I Hear you Knocking really brought back some memories. Thanks, Texas for both of your songs and your comment about Bod Dylan.

So sorry that the jester was blocked in the UK. Hey! we're buddies with that bunch.

I need to thank our lovely Izzie for something that I received in the mail. What a fantastic early birthday present. More about that later, but here's another thank you to her, y'all.

Loved Bob and George in Unison, edgar

Time for me to say goodnight. It's been a wonderful day on WA2K.

Hardly anyone was on my beach today, and it reminded me of this song.

Goodnight, world.

From Letty with love

Thank you and abba for the music.
I love Stranger on the shore.

I haven't listened to Uncle Albert in a while. This is my good night song.

Albert Lee - Sweet Little Lisa.

Good morning radio people. Well, a cool front finally arrived. But the drought goes on. See ya all later.

Good morning from Florida to our radio contributors.

edgar, thanks once again for your comments. Love Sir Paul's Uncle Albert, and once again you sent me searching.

Halsey was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on October 30, 1882, the son of Captain William F. Halsey, Sr., USN. He was a descendant of Senator Rufus King, who was an American lawyer, politician, and diplomat. King was a delegate for Massachusetts to the Continental Congress, attended the Constitutional Convention and was one of the signers of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He represented New York in the United States Senate, served as Minister to Britain, and was the Federalist candidate for both Vice President (1804, 1808) and President of the United States (1816).

After waiting two years for an appointment to the United States Naval Academy, young Halsey decided to study medicine at the University of Virginia, then to get into the Navy as a doctor. He chose that university because his best friend, Karl Osterhause, was there. Years later, Halsey admitted that he learned little during his one and only year at Virginia, but he had a wonderful time. Despite that, Halsey was a member of the elite and secretive Seven Society.

Hurry back, Texas.

Hey, Brit. I liked your Albert as well. Thanks for the introduction.

Francis, it seems as though your Spanish lady doesn't intend to "give up". Lovely song and a minor key is always so plaintive.

Two songs for the beginning of the day, y'all.

First, since it Joaquin Phoenix's birthday, a tribute to him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2QFJ6rSmRQ

Now a jazz version with lyrics of one of my all time favorites to greet the day here.

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

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day

Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
A vow that all betray

For the passions that thrill love
And take you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let it fall to hell
So ends the story

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away

Miss, Letty, many versions of your last song were sung.

I like that song a lot..

Taking a break from house cleaning. Going to start the quiet stuff soon (dusting -- achoo!) so I can throw on a CD -- probably some Lucinda Williams:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrSEeNE_Uzw

This one always makes me smile.

"Well, I saw you in the grocery store
buying tomatoes
for a casserole..."

ooooh, baby

Enjoy your day WA2K!

Welcome back Tai Chi. We hope to enjoy our morning, noon, and night, on WA2K,Canada.

Lucinda Williams' song hot blood was what happens when you like somebody and it has nothing to do with love.

Thanks, Francis, for your comment on the jazz version of Softly as in the Morning Sunrise. I love it as well.

Today is Charlie Daniels birthday, and here's a funny/scary one that was originally done by him and his band.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSM7voOCkU0&feature=related

Nice tribute to Joaquin Phoenix.
Good Sonny piano.

I like Lucinda Williams' songing.
Charlie Daniels Legend of Wooley Swamp is one I hadn't heard. Not bad.
Well, here's the Carlysles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXQs6dthrGs&feature=related

Too Old to Cut the Mustard is a great and funny song by The Carlysles, edgar. Thanks again for your comments.

Remember this, Texas? Pardon me; do you have any Grey Poupon?

Here's one by Ricky Martin that includes mythological creatures. I also found the English translation.

http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=APKhZusD7rM&feature=related

English
The distance doesn't matter

I once dreamt that at some place
I could be somebody if only I could love

And I also dreamt that if I am to success
My stubborn pride I will have to overcome

Someday I'll arrive The distance doesn't matter
I'll find the path and I'll be brave
Step by step I'll go and I'll persist
At any distance
I'll reach love

I saw you once
It was all surreal and although it was a dream
I could feel you next to me

I know that you are out there that I'll find you
Even if it takes me a lifetime
I will never give up

Someday I'll arrive...

Beyond the glory,
the pride and the courage
the power of a hero
lies within his heart

Someday I'll arrive The distance doesn't matter
I'll be by your side with your shining glow
Step by step I'll go and I'll persist
At any distance
Your life and your love, I'll have

I recall Grey Poupon. I suppose it is still in the stores. Never tried any of it.

Ricky Martin is a fine artist. I just don't connect with him.
Ray Price used to sing like this
