@Letty,

Hi Miss Letty, Thank you for the info on Ronald Binge, I knew he
was a Derby man, that was it, I didn't know he had worked with Mantovani.
Love the Dove, beautiful piece of music.

Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy.

@eurocelticyankee,

Thanks, euroGeorge for your comments.

Ah, I love Debussy's Clair de Lune.

One more by Mantovani, buddy.

and the lyrics.

Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh.
I dreamt of paradise for two. (My lovely Leilani)
You are my paradise completed. (My lovely Leilani)
You are my dream come true.

Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh,
Tropic skies are jealous while they shine. (My lovely Leilani)
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes. (My lovely Leilani)
Jealous because you're mine.

I think they're jealous of your blue eyes. (My lovely Leilani)
Jealous because you're mine.

Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh,
Nature's fashion roses kissed with dew. (My lovely Leilani)
And then she placed them in a bower. (My lovely Leilani)
It was the start of you.
My lovely Lei-lan-i.

@Letty,

Sweet Leilani is a sweet piece of music Miss Letty, I'd love
to be on a beach in Hawaii right now, hmmm.

I'll say good night Miss Letty with one from Whitney.
Have a peaceful night.

Quote:

Recitative Narrator
Be quiet, stop chattering,
and pay attention to what's taking place:
here comes Herr Schlendrian
with his daughter Lieschen;
he's growling like a honey bear.
Hear for yourselves, what she has done to him!

Aria Schlendrian
Don't one's children cause one
endless trials & tribulations!
What I say each day
to my daughter Lieschen
falls on stony ground.

Recitative
Schlendrian You wicked child, you disobedient girl,
oh! when will I get my way;
give up coffee!
Lieschen Father, don't be so severe!
If I can't drink
my bowl of coffee three times daily,
then in my torment I will shrivel up
like a piece of roast goat.

Aria Lieschen
Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes,
more delicious than a thousand kisses,
mellower than muscatel wine.
Coffee, coffee I must have,
and if someone wishes to give me a treat,
ah, then pour me out some coffee!

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, thanks again for your comments, and Camp Grenada was funny. Hurry back, Texas.

hbg, Drink from The Student Prince was great, and Allen Sherman's Drinking Man's Diet I didn't know. He was one funny guy.

wm, I love Three Dog Night, and Easy to be Hard was a marvelous one by them.

How about a couple of classics for this morning.

First, the Dance of the Hours from which Hello Muddah was taken.

@Barry The Mod,

Dance of the hours has been spoiled for me, letty. I can't hear it without Allan Sherman's voice intruding.
Swan Lake I like.

@edgarblythe,

Thanks again for keeping us on the air and your comments. Miss Piggy says, "moi?" Razz

That Dance Me if You Can was both humorous and good, edgar. Never heard it before.

Remember this trumpet man?

Ray Anthony (born Raymond Antonini, January 20, 1922, Bentleyville, Pennsylvania) is an American bandleader, trumpeter, songwriter and actor. He is still with us and performing.
