Cold here again.

edgar, your goodnight song by Robert Mitchum was great. Had no idea that he did calypso. Thanks again for your comments.

Welcome back, Brit and Old Goat.

Loved Jane Weaver's Heart of gold and Muse was great. Naturally, I liked One Mint Julep.

Don't know Sky Pilot, but thanks for the introduction, Texas.

Hope I didn't miss anyone.

Today is this lady's birthday and she is new to me.

I have heard of Mary, but never before heard her.
Judy Collins now

homonyms, homonyms. I never "herd" that one by Judy Collins, but as you know I really like that lady. Thanks edgar.

Two songs for the afternoon. Today is the day that Francis Scott Keys died. So here is a tribute to the man. (they should let this survive as a poem, methinks)

And since I just heard from our Urs, how about one by "the boss".

Definitely honor Key, letty.

THanks for the "Boss" letty.

Got one by the Byrds.

Good Evening, folks,
Enjoyed Judy Collins and the Boss.
The story of F. S. Key was very interesting, there's no doubt
the pen is mightier than the sword. Words are a powerful weapon
indeed, for good and unfortunately for bad.

Led Zeppelin

Thanks for your comments, Irish. More synchronicity. The band called themselves LED Zeppelin because they didn't want folks thinking it was lead.(as in lead us down the road). English is difficult to learn. Don't know Going to California, but it was a good one.

Speaking of California here's one by The Beatles.

Enjoyed the Byrd's and the bees, oops Beatles.
Always been a huge fan of the fab four.

Love Come Together by the Fab Four. That funny remark about the Byrd's and the BeesGees was another example of our language, Irish.

Neil Sedaka wrote this as a type of protest regarding John Lennon. I think it had to do with his passport, but not certain.

Usually, I don't listen to Led Zep, but that was a good one.
The Beatles song was from when Billy was often dubbed the Fifth Beatle.

Different people, including R Nixon and E Presley, were at that time trying to get Lennon deported.

I just found this bit about it, edgar.

I wanted to play Jo Jo by Billy Preston who was considered "the fifth Beatle", but decided to do this one. (remember when I played Hugh Laurie's version?)

I used to think this said "Willie go round in circles"

Here is something I read a few days ago

Despite The Beatle's admiration for The King, ELVIS PRESLEY despised JOHN LENNON with the passion of a thousand suns - and so did El pal TOM JONES!

When superstars Elvis and Tom hung out it was like BFF's chilling - sharing secrets and swapping yarns about their fans and rivals, Tom's PR flack Chris Hutchins told the UK Daily Mail.

But whenever someone mentioned John Lennon's name to EL, he would explode!

"Whenever John Lennon's name came up, (Elvis) would fly into a rage," Hutchins confirmed to the tab.

"His dislike of the pacifist Beatle was born from the night I took the Fab Four to his house for their first - and last - meeting.

"John had annoyed Presley by making his anti-war feelings known the moment he stepped into the massive lounge and spotted the table lamps - model wagons engraved with the message: 'All the way with LBJ.'

"Lennon hated President Lyndon B Johnson for raising the stakes in the Vietnam War."

Elvis had aligned himself with the FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and later President Richard Nixon and thought of himself as some uber-patriot super-secret agent.

Presley encouraged the FBI to have Lennon deported as an "illegal alien" out of the U.S.A.

"He should've been kicked out long ago," Elvis told Jones.

No fan of Lennon's himself, Tom replied he'd like to "take him outside and see what sort of hiding his intellect would stand" .

I think Will it Go Round in Circles will be the song Billy is best remembered for.
Likely John Lennon heard the sound of distant drums.

Love Distant Drums by Gentleman Jim, edgar. Thanks for your comment and your humor.

Remember when you did the "Twisted Lyrics" discussion? Well, our Izzie is back and all right. So here's Cab Calloway doing:

Iz you iz or iz you ain't Miss Izzie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBawJbIzDg0&feature=fvw

I love Cab Calloway. The story I posted just above my last post is from the Enquirer, but it jives with stories like it that I have read before.

I missed that critique, edgar. Didn't know that about Elvis and John or Tom.

As you know, I come from a military family, and one of the reasons that I'm interested in ethnicity is to sort the propaganda from the reality.

Don't know Johnny Burnette, but I recall my dad having said that a draft isn't needed because in times of crisis, people will volunteer.

Remember this?
