Thanks for the Anniversary Waltz, barry. I enjoyed it.
I like Aretha's song also.

edgar has been the spokesman for me, but I do want euroGeorge to know that I may have located his song.

Hey, Brit. I enjoyed Lucy and Desi's Waltz as well. It was funny. Think I heard a bit of Edith Piaf in there. Evil Gal Blues was also a good one.

edgar sure knows how to yell Thank You to Letty. Red is a good color for it as well.

Here are the English lyrics to Edith's bit.

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Every day words
Seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose

This may be the Supertramp song.

Info about that great group.

Supertramp are a British rock band formed in 1969 under the name Daddy before renaming to Supertramp in early 1970. Though their music was initially categorised as progressive rock, they have since incorporated a combination of traditional rock and art rock into their music. The band's work is marked by the inventive songwriting of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson and the distinctive voice of Hodgson, which appeared on the majority of the band's hit singles. Supertramp were also well known for their prominent use of the Wurlitzer electric piano and saxophone.

Now a birthday boy.

@Letty,
Hi Miss Letty & Ed, wow talk about busy.
You're all keeping well I hope.

Really enjoyed that piece from Carousel, isn't Shirely Jones beautiful.
Happy Birthday to Barry, what a voice.
Miss Letty you were close with my Supertramp song, it is actually on
their "Breakfast in America" album. It was "Goodbye Stranger"
I'll try again.

euroGeorge, Welcome back, and thanks again for your comments. Goodbye Stranger was awesome. Thanks for the introduction to those "strangers".

Thanks for yours too, edgar.

Rockhead's Take the Long Way Home was great as well. Casual Conversation another good one.

Somehow, I was reminded of Frost's "two tramps in mud time"

Here's one that I have been trying to discover the history behind. There are many versions of it.

I love the way they pronounce the true version of the old Scots.

@edgarblythe,
Great song by Linda Ronstadt, never heard of the Small Poneys, but
have always liked Linda.
First time hearing The Corries too, the guy on the right looks like the
Scottish version of Kenny Rogers, nice song. Kenny McRogers Laughing

Bronski Beat.

@eurocelticyankee,
Supertramp never did a bad song, IMO...

even in the quietest moments was a good one as well.

Hey! It Must be Supertramp day on WA2K.

edgar, I liked the ponies by Linda.

Rock, Yours was a good one, too.

euroGeorge. That was a funny remark about Kenny the Scott.

Here's one to match our Irishman's Bronski Beat.

Love Porgy and Bess.

One of my favs by Linda.

@edgarblythe,
Two great songs Miss Letty by Aretha & Linda, Linda does a
lovely version of Desperado.
Love Gerry Rafferty Ed, shame we lost him not so long ago.

I'll say good night with this one by Iggy, The Passenger.
I hope it plays as it has a interesting video with it. Good Night All.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks again for your comments, Texas. Wow! I had forgotten Gerry, so just to remind our radio folks.

Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer songwriter best known for his solo hits "Baker Street", "Right Down the Line", "Days Gone Down", "Night Owl, "Get It Right Next Time", and with the band Stealers Wheel, "Stuck in the Middle with You". Rafferty was born into a working-class family in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. His mother taught him both Irish and Scottish folk songs as a boy; later, he was influenced by the music of The Beatles and Bob Dylan. He joined the folk-pop band The Humblebums in 1969, but left in 1971 and recorded his first solo album Can I Have My Money Back. Rafferty and Joe Egan formed the group Stealers Wheel in 1972, producing several hits, most notably "Stuck in the Middle with You". In 1978, he recorded his second solo album, City to City, which includes "Baker Street", his most popular song.

Whatever's Written in Your Heart was priceless. Thanks for the reminder.

Well, today is Conway Twitty's birthday, so here is one that I like by him.
