Randy Newman - We Belong Together.

Don't you turn your back on me
Don't you walk away
Don't you tell me that I don't care
'Cause I do!
Don't you tell me I'm not the one
Don't you tell me I ain't no fun
Just tell me you love me like I love you
You know you do

When we're together
Gray skies clear up
And I cheer up
To where I'm less depressed

And sincerely
From the bottom of my heart
I just can't take it
When we're apart

We belong together
We belong together
Yes we do
You'll be mine forever

We belong together
We belong together
(You) know it's true
(It's) gonna stay this way forever
Me and you

If I could really talk to you
If I could find a way
I'm not shy
There's a whole lot I wanna to say
(Of course there is)

Talk about friendship and loyalty
Talk about how much you mean to me
And I'd promise to always be by your side
Whenever you need me

The day I met you
Was the luckiest day of my life
And I'll bet you feel the same
(Least I hope you do)

So don't forget me
If the future should take you away
('Cause) you'll always be
Part of me

We belong together
We belong together
Wait and see
(It's) gonna be this way forever

We belong together
We belong together
Honestly
We'll go on this way forever
You and me

You and me

We don't need a reason, do we?

Climbing the apples with the second best stadium band (did you see their 3D movie? Awesome!)....

U2 - City Of Blinding Lights.

Good morning. Awesome Monday. See ya all later today.

Hurry back, edgar. Comancheros by Claude King was great, and Ricky's It's Late, great. Goodnight My Love was one that I really enjoyed. Thanks, Texas, for you comments and the music.

Hey, Brit. You Hurry back as well.

Loved the one by Randy Newman and also Mama Cass's Dream a Little Dream of Me is one most of us know. City of Blinding Light by U2 was one that I didn't know, but loved it.

Francis, I need to check out that movie, but I really enjoyed Don't Need a Reason.

Today iz Zero Mostel's birthday so here is a familiar one by one of the songs from Fiddler on the Roof.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8_rKnIeLb8&feature=related

What a fantastic evening I had, yawl. Great conversation about jazz with a couple, Amy and Frank. More about that later.

I like all the songs from Fiddler, letty. I know them mostly from the movie, however.

Here is an oldie but a favorite of mine still.

Welcome back, edgar, and thanks for your comment on Fiddler on the Roof

Don't know Youngblood by The Coasters, but it was a good one.

How about Young Love, yawl.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3i_t094xqo

Did you know Tab Hunter also performed Young Love, letty? But Sonny's record sold the most copies.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA85prw7hto
Bobby Darin

no, edgar, I didn't know that about Tab Hunter. As a matter of fact, I didn't know Sonny James. I just wanted one to match your Youngblood

Don't know that one by dear Bobby, but I never think of that young man that I don't recall Kevin doing his story as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loEAFCMx77A&feature=related

I sang this one at a gig and someone came up and said: " How about doing Mack the Knight."

One of these days I need to check out the production Mack the Knife came from.

Here's Tim Buckley

Wow! That song to the sirens was awesome. You sent me searching again, edgar.

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an American vocalist, and musician. His music and style changed considerably through the years; his first album (1966) was mostly folk oriented, but over time his music incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, avant-garde and an evolving "voice as instrument," sound. He died at age 28, leaving his son Jeff Buckley from his marriage to Mary Guibert.

I guess he listened to the sirens, Texas.

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

First an early Mack the Knife.

Now, a tribute to a birthday girl.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gey1PtXYwLI&feature=related

Found out that Francis' song was from the movie The City of Angels with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage

Love to everyone, everywhere.

From Letty with love

Sorry, my computer is having a problem. None of the youtubes will open for me just now. Good night everybody.

hard to shine on a2k when moderators are so rude.

Hmmm, rude moderators on a2k, make you think of someone in particular?

Morning Ms Letty (I refreshed my memory about Bob),Ed and all WA2K folks.Here's an oldie but he's just decided to release it as his new single....

Wishing all those in Wales a happy Saint David's Day.
Last year's parade in Cardiff....

Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats - Rocket 88.
Laters WA2K

Sorry that you couldn't hear the tribute to Bernadette Peters, edgar. I know that you like her. The other song was just the original Mack the Knife from Three Penny Opera.

Welcome back, T-Rex. Couldn't get your song to play, buddy. Not certain what you mean by "rude" moderators.

You hurry back, too, Brit. Don't know Rendezvous by "the boss". Thanks for the tribute to Wales, and I do believe that your photo is Raglan Castle (my ancestors once lived there). The national anthem was a surprise, but Land of my Fathers was a fitting tribute. Also enjoyed Delta Cats by Jackie Brenston.

Today is Harry Belafonte's Birthday, so here is a tribute to him.

Our Brit's song reminded me of this poem.

I Have a Rendezvous with Death
by Alan Seeger, 1888-1916

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade
When Spring comes round with rustling shade

And apple blossoms fill the air.
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath;

It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow flowers appear.

God knows ‘twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear . . .

But I’ve a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

Please forgive any oversight, as my daughter and I stayed up rather late last evening.
