Thanks for the Glen and Marketa fix!

Now you've sent me down The Swell Season path.

Thanks, JPB for playing along. You Sent me to the archives, flower lady.

The Swell Season is a folk rock duo formed by Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech singer and pianist Markéta Irglová. "The Swell Season" name is derived from Hansard's favourite novel by Josef Škvorecký from 1975 bearing the same title. Their debut album goes by the same name.

Since their rise to prominence after starring in the 2007 film Once, they increasingly referred to themselves as "The Swell Season" in promotion of their performances until it became the formal name of their collaboration in 2008. (Notably, they still used their separate names when they contributed their cover of Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" to the 2007 soundtrack of I'm Not There.)

Great one, gal, and thanks.

Speaking of rain, yawl.

and, the lyrics.

Lyrics by Andy Razaf
Music by Thomas "Fats" Waller and Harry Brooks

No one to talk with,
All by myself,
No one to walk with,
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin',
I'm savin' my love for you

I know for certain,
The one I love,
I through with flirtin',
It's just you I'm thinkin' of.
Ain't misbehavin',
I'm savin' my love for you

Like Jack Horner in the corner
Don't go no where,
What do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Be-lieve me

I don't stay out late,
Don't care to go,
I'm home about eight,
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin',
I'm savin' my love for

not sure why mr. bragg chose the song, as the backing music to his spoken word bit, but thought you might find it interesting

Well, yes, it was that.

Another Fats song by Dinah Washington

Love Tain't No body's business by Dinah, edgar. Billi Holiday also did that one.

Today is George Frederick Handel's birthday.

Here is a tribute to that fantastic composer. It's called Largo.

The best English translation that I could find.

" Love ye the Lord, Love ye the Lord for His great mercy, and loving kindness to all His Saints. Love ye the Lord, for He is gracious, and will deliver your souls, and give you peace. For His great mercy love ye the Lord, and He will deliver you from all fear, and give your rest to your souls, and give you rest to your souls."

Happy birthday to Handel, letty.
Here is one of the artists named Ray
