edgar, loved your Teddy Bear's Picnic and thanks for the comments.

C.J. and Dutchy, What a nice tribute for my birthday. Thanks for those delicious looking cakes. Been a long time since I had a birthday cake.

Hurry back, Texas.

Well, October is long gone, and I thought I'd say goodbye to it with Andrea.

No leaves here. Just Palm fronds.

Now, a birthday boy.

First, some info.

Now Lyle and Keb.

Hmmm. I do believe that a witch flying by the moon last night interrupted our signal.

Inspired by edgar's report on the Burmese python, I decided that this be a good time to name it.

Didn't recognize Andrea's song, but he always does a superb job of it.
Lyle Lovett was on the local TV news show yesterday, performing a song just for that station. He comes from these parts, you know.

I never saw much of Monty Python, so when I see these clips, it is usually new to me.

Marty Robbins

I knew that Lyle was a Texan, edgar, and thanks for throwing water on that witch, and keeping us on the air.

Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics to Andrea's song.


The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Thanks for your comments, and I loved The Story of My Life by Marty. Love that guy.

Heard from euroGeorge, and he's alright. Just lost his pc, but he's getting a new one.

This is for that Irishman.

I like that Irish song, letty. It and the lady's voice reminded me very much of Judy Collins.

A song about a fraulein.

edgar, thanks again for your comment. I'll have to listen again to that Irish lady, because as you know, I really like Judy Collins.

Never heard Fraulein by Bobby Helms. Love it, Texas.

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

First, Rick Nelson's Travelin' Man. It was inspired by your fraulein, buddy

and now, a birthday boy who was taken from us too soon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hakWS6Csf7Y&feature=related

Hope we get more voice tomorrow.

From Letty with love and an invitation

I love Rick Nelson's records also. That is one of his more popular ones.

Couldn't place Dan Peek at first, but now I have him pegged and the song in the video.

Toby Keith - Red Solo Cup (Unedited Version).

good morning. It's a beautiful day in the offing. I expect to paint all our new siding work today. Then come home tired from running up and down ladders.

barry
I have grown to like some of Toby's music these days.

A new TV series, based on fairy tales, has become one of my favorite shows. Here is something about it

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, loved your goodnight song by Jackie, and thanks for your comment. Also enjoyed Brenda Lee's hymn, I Come to the Garden Alone. Reminds me of my mom. Once Upon a Time looks like a good one. Will check it out here.

Welcome back, Brit. That one by Toby Keith was hilarious. Never heard Red Solo Cup, but it did make me smile from ear to ear.

Two songs for this morning. Odd, I couldn't find this one by Monty Python, but this one is good.

Dobie Gray - The In Crowd

Thanks, Brit I love Dobie Gray, and The In Crowd is a fabulous song. Didn't know that about the BBC and Billy Cotton. I remember Dobie Gray best for:

"...give me the beat boys and free my soul; I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away..."

Danial Boone
by Arthur Cuiterman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daniel Boone at twenty-one
Came with his tomahawk, knife, and gun
Home from the French and Indian War
To North Carolina and the Yadkin shore.
He married his maid with a golden band,
Builded his house and cleared his land;
But the deep woods claimed their son again
And he turned his face from the homes ofmen.
Over the Blue Ridge, dark and lone,
The Mountains of Iron, the Hills of Stone,
Braving the Shawnee's jealous wrath,
He made his way on the Warrior's Path.Alone he trod the shadowed trails;
But he was lord of a thousand vales
As he roved Kentucky, far and near,
Hunting the buffalo, elk, and deer.
What joy to see, what joy to win
So fair a land for his kith and kin,
Of streams unstained and woods unhewn!
"Elbow room!" laughed Daniel Boone.


On the Wilderness Road that his axmenmade
The settlers flocked to the first stockade;
The deerskin shirts and the coonskin caps
Filed through the glens and the mountaingaps;
And hearts were high in the fateful spring
When the land said "Nay!" to the stubbornking.
While the men of the East of farm and town
Strove with the troops of the British Crown,
Daniel Boone from a surge of hate
Guarded a nation's westward gate.
Down in the fort in a wave of flame
The Shawnee horde and the Mingo came,
And the stout logs shook in a storm of lead;
But Boone stood firm and the savage fled.
Peace! And the settlers flocked anew,
The farm lands spread, the town lands grew;
But Daniel Boone was ill at ease
When he saw the smoke in his forest trees.
"There'll be no game in the country soon.
Elbow room!" cried Daniel Boone.


Straight as a pine at sixty-five
Time enough for a man to thrive
He launched his bateau on Ohio's breast
And his heart was glad as he oared it west;
There were kindly folk and his own trueblood
Where great Missouri rolls his flood;
New woods, new streams, and room to spare,
And Daniel Boone found comfort there.
Yet far he ranged toward the sunset still,
Where the Kansas runs and the Smoky Hill,
And the prairies toss, by the south windblown;
And he killed his bear on the Yellowstone.
But ever he dreamed of new domains
With vast woods and wider plains;
Ever he dreamed of a world-to-be
Where there are no bounds and the soul isfree.
At fourscore-five, still stout and hale,
He heard a call to a farther trail;
So he turned his face where the stars arestrewn;
"Elbow room!" sighed Daniel Boone.

Some rockers in a mellow mood....

Steppenwolf - Snowblind Friend.

1,2,3,4.
You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on 'till next Monday
But he spent it on some comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?

Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
And they'll come to take him back home on a bus
But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
Yeah he'll always be another one of us
He said he wanted Heaven but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low?
Flyin' low
Dyin' slow
