@edgarblythe,
edgar, Thanks for the info on Garth. I'll try and watch that one, buddy.

Ah, dear Elvis and Rock a Hula. Don't know that one by "the king". Thanks for the introduction and thanks for your comment on Pat's song.

Two songs for the afternonn.

First Neil. It's Caroline Kennedy's birthday and it has been said that he did this song for her.

When the show is on the roses is a fine song.
Sweet Caroline is the first song I liked of Neil Diamond's.

@edgarblythe,
edgar, I love Drift Away and I listened twice to see if I could identify all the musicians. Most of them I knew, Texas.

Thanks again for your comments, buddy.

Here's a birthday boy with whom I am not familiar, so first a little info.

Eddie Rabbitt was born to Irish immigrants in Brooklyn, New York in 1941 and was raised in the nearby community of East Orange, New Jersey. His father was an oil-refinery refrigeration worker and a skilled fiddle and accordion player who often entertained local New York City dance halls. By age twelve Rabbitt was a proficient guitar player, having been taught by his scoutmaster, Tom Scwickrath. During his childhood Rabbitt became a self-proclaimed "walking encyclopedia of country music". After his parents divorced he dropped out of school at age sixteen. His mom, Mae, explained this action by saying that Rabbitt "was never one for school because his head was too full of music." He later obtained a high school diploma after taking courses at night school.

Now the man,

@edgarblythe,
I'm feeling musical today. Here's what I'm listening to while I read back and catch up with what's happening at the radio station.

Tom Jones' new album is a tribute to his late pal, Elvis Presley. The Welsh singer promised The King he would one day record gospel songs.
The music veteran moved away from pop to release Praise & Blame, a compilation of hymns and gospel tracks, over the summer.
Jones admits he has wanted to release a gospel album ever since Presley suggested it during a late night jam session, and the Sex Bomb hitmaker was determined to keep his word.
He says, "We would stay up all night talking about music. He was surprised I knew gospel songs and wanted to know when I'd record a gospel album. I said I would and this is it."

Can't believe our Willie (nelson, that is) was arrested for having pot.

It wasn't the first time. Razz


This reminds me of Shamarr's tour with Willie and the story he told about being on the bus

Quote:
February 19: Boone, North Carolina
I finally got a chance to go on Willie’s bus. I didn’t even have to ask. Tony in the catering room told me about how the police in Louisiana Exit 104 harassed them when they got busted for a little weed. Well, maybe it wasn’t a little, but who cares? It’s Willie Nelson. Then he brought up the show at Lincoln Center with Willie and Wynton. I told him I wished I could have seen it. He said Willie had a recording of the show and wanted me to hear it and brought me on the bus to tell Willie to play it for me. Then it hit me, I’m on Willie’s bus.



His bus is pimped out. The back lounge isn’t a back lounge; it’s Willie’s bedroom. Willie is playing the Wii. He offered to play me, but I don’t want to get my butt whipped by an old man. I would never be able to live it down, like when Paul Sanchez beat me on Madden.



He also offered me something else I also turned down. Before I left New Orleans, my friends said I had to smoke with Willie. It was like taking communion from the Pope. More

Wow! Looks as though I have some catching up to do.

Welcome back, Rocky. Nice to have you and Bullwinkle on at the same time.

edgar, Judy Collins' Send in the Clowns is great. Thanks for the info on Tom Jones and his tribute to Elvis.

JPB, Paco de Lucia was marvelous. Thanks for the introduction, Ms squirrel.

Well, I guess Willie doesn't have any more secrets now. Razz Love It's Funny How Time Slips Away.

Ah, dear Mahalia Jackson. I especially liked His Eye is on The Sparrow.

Hope I didn't miss anyone.

In response to Judy Collins, two songs y'all.

First Mario Lanza who did the life of Enrico Caruso.

And now, Sir Paul who is referring to a fool.

@JPB,
Ah, squirrel lady, what fantastic music you have played for us tonight.

Stairway of Life and Mediterranean Sundance were awesome. Love acoustic and flamenco guitar, gal.

Time for me to say goodnight and I think that I shall do so with two songs.

First, the fantastic guitarist with Jethro Tull.

Now, one originally done by The Four Freshmen.

Hey, where did our edgar go?

From Letty with love and a wonderful memory

I particularly like His Eye is on the Sparrow.

When I was a kid, the first song I heard Willie Nelson sing was Funny How Time Slips Away. I still think it is one of his best.
