Good early morning, WA2K folks.
edgar, Love The Byrds. To Everything Turn, Turn, Turn is one of my favorites. I recall "the jester" singing Mr. Tambourine with them so long ago.
wm, Don't know Danny Holien's Colorado, but I do know The Allman Bros, but not that song. Both are good ones.
Hey, Brit. Ronnie McNeir is great. Love soul music and gospel. Yep, everybody's in a hurry all right. Don't know him, but thanks for the introduction.
I was wondering where McTag was and just found out he is here. Andrea says come back, however.

Good morning. I will be back later. Not sure when.
I know that song by Andrea. Just don't recall by who.

I'm Free
@Barry The Mod,
Brit, You don't know Sue, do you?
Kaori Kabayashi and that flute plus the jazz saxophonist were fantastic.
free?
Here's Sue, Brit.

edgar, thanks for your comment, and The Rolling Stones' freedom fits perfectly.
"Free as a Bird" is a song performed by The Beatles. The single was released on 4 December 1995, as part of the promotion for the release of The Beatles Anthology video documentary and the band's Anthology 1 compilation album.
The song was written and recorded as a demo by John Lennon in 1977. For the Anthology project, Paul McCartney asked Lennon's widow Yoko Ono for unreleased material by Lennon to which the three remaining ex-Beatles could contribute. "Free as a Bird" was one of two such songs (along with "Real Love") for which McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr finished the arrangement and wrote extra lyrics. Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra, who had worked with Harrison on Harrison's album Cloud Nine and as part of The Traveling Wilburys, was asked to co-produce the record.
The music video for "Free as a Bird" was produced by Vincent Joliet and directed by Joe Pytka (Space Jam); from the point of view of a bird in flight, it depicts many references to Beatles songs, such as "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Penny Lane", "Paperback Writer", "A Day in the Life", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Helter Skelter". "Free as a Bird" won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and was The Beatles' 34th Top 10 single in America. The song secured the group at least one Top 40 hit in four different decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s), and there is a span of 25 years between The Beatles' break-up and its charting.
It has always amazed me how Dion moved from Dion and the Belmonts to singing Runaround Sue, to this sublime recording:

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for the info on both Dion and the fab four, edgar. Odd, had no idea that Dion did Abraham, Martin, and John.
See if you can recognize the melodies in this compilation, Texas.
Sorry that the contra bass is so out of tune, but it may not be the bass after all. Don't recognize the other instrument.

@Letty,
I saw Free as a Bird in the title, letty. I also could not listen to it all.
That's one of Aretha's better songs, I think.

Chuck Berry
Funny, Brit. The tunes were Flee as a Bird (a hymn) Annie Laurie, and There's No Place Like Home. Yep, they were terrible. Love that one by Aretha, although I don't know it.
Ah, Get Your Kicks on Route 66 was great, edgar. Nat did that one, too.
Here's the sassy Miss Sarah doing Reverie which matches Aretha's day dream.

Oops. Missed Percy's Dreams, Brit. Sorry. Don't know that one but it was a good one.
@edgarblythe,
I love Farewell Angelina by Joan, edgar. Thanks again for your comment. Didn't know "the jester" wrote that one, however.
Hurry back, Brit, cause you are going to miss The Werewolves of London.

Halloween needs werewolves, of course. Also needs Black Cats

@edgarblythe,
The Black Cat Waltz was great, edgar. Thinking of Johnny Mercer now. What a talent. There was a scary movie concerning them.

Jeeper Creepers is a great song -

Trick or Treat
@edgarblythe,
Thanks for the comment, edgar, and Trick or Treat Monster Halloween was great. Kids would love that.
More synchronicity. This was originally done by sachmo but this version is fantastic.
