Thanks again for the comment, edgar. Never heard that one by Johnny. He is really great on that song, Call Me.

Here's another new guy to me, but I really like his style. First, some info.

Paul Rennee Belobersycky (born July 21, 1972 in Calgary, Alberta) is a Canadian country music artist, known professionally as Paul Brandt. Growing up in Calgary, he was a pediatric RN at the time of his big break. In 1996, he made his mark on the country music charts with the single "My Heart Has a History," propelling him to international success and making him the first male Canadian country singer to reach to the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in the United States since Hank Snow, who last charted a Top 10 hit when "Hello Love" hit #1 in 1974. Brandt is married to Elizabeth Peterson, who can be seen in some of his music videos, and heard singing background on his CDs. Brandt's music has been used by Dave Matthews and Johnny Cash on the epic Mel Gibson We Were Soldiers soundtrack, a duet of the song written by Paul Brandt and Steve Rosen called "For You."

Tom T Hall
I Love

Ah, Dear Tom T and his loves. Thanks for that one, edgar.

Time for me to say goodnight, and having seen the discussion of covered bridges, I thought of this one from The Bridges of Madison County.

The Trip

I'll Close My Eyes is one I did not know.

Just recently, we've had a plethora of really good female artists coming through in the UK, but this lady is possibly up there with the best of the bunch, IMO.

A British Karen Carpenter?

Rumer.

Elton John - Circle Of Life.
PS,see the stage show if you can.Amazing!!!!!!!!!

Jumping into the time machine and going back 55 years to celebrate this lady from Montgomery,Alabama....
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a 42-year-old African American woman who worked as a seamstress, boarded a Montgomery City bus to go home from work. On this bus on that day, Rosa Parks initiated a new era in the American quest for freedom and equality.

Nina Simone-I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be free

I wish I could give
All I'm longin' to give
I wish I could live
Like I'm longin' to live
I wish I could do
All the things that I can do
And though I'm way over due
I'd be starting a new

Well I wish I could be
Like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found I could fly
Oh I'd soar to the sun
And look down at the sea
Than I'd sing cos I know - yea
Then I'd sing cos I know - yea
Then I'd sing cos I know
I'd know how it feels
Oh it know how it feels to be free
Yea Yea! Oh, I know how it feels
Yes I know
Oh, I know
How it feels
How it feels
To be free

Good morning, WA2K folks. It's still dark here in Florida.

edgar, I love Donovan's Trip, especially the bass. Thanks, buddy.

Hey, O.G. Nice to have you here again. Rumer has a fantastic voice, buddy. Love both of those songs. Don't know her, but I'm glad you introduced her to us.

Hey, Brit. Sir Elton's Circle of Life is great. Let's hope that we can obliterate AIDS. Love the visuals on that one.

Your brief bio on Rosa Parks reminds us how strong some women can be to fight the system at her time in life.

I like that one by Nina, buddy. Don't think we have that problem any longer, however. There are lots of applications to "...being free..." in today's world.

Ah, today is Matt Monroe's birthday, so here is one by him.

Happy Birthday, Lou. You'll meet some groovy people here on a wee radio.

Good Matt Monroe birthday song.
Lou was one of the groovy people, for sure.

It was a beautiful morning, if a bit chill.

Ah, loved that Rascals song, edgar. Thanks again for your comments on Lou and Matt. (need to speak with our editor as Miss Letty made a couple of errors; maybe I need to get some owl eyes)

How about a beautiful afternoon? (chilly here as well)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtwmJA9qFMM&feature=channel

The Owls do a decent job of it.
Well, I am listening to George today
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOduYzbwaSs

Those owls know how to turn their heads, edgar. Well, you listen; I listen; we all listen to George. She Thinks I Still Care is a great one.

Perhaps this is Care Bear day.

Here are The Inkspots and Diana Krall.

That's my favorite by the Inkspots, letty.
Here is a Ray Charles song by someone I don't know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvKqYf7LfAk

I had forgotten that The Inkspots were a part of that movie, edgar.

Danger Zone is great by Partet. Great blues song, buddy.

I had to laugh at your photo on Oddities and Humor, Texas.

Here's the song to match.
