@edgarblythe,
Thanks for the comment, edgar. We'll await JL's request.

I love John Denver and I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free is a great one.

I have a special reason for loving this one by John.

@edgarblythe,
As you know, edgar, Billy Joel is one of my favorite performers, too. Love that She's Always a woman to me. Thanks for the comment on John Denver's Lady.

All is well on the home front, so guess I'll say goodnight a wee bit early tonight.

First a tribute to many who love including Marie Curie whose birthday is today, and this famous man.

Gustavo Adolfo Domínguez Bastida, better known as Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, (February 17, 1836, Seville - December 22, 1870) was a Spanish post-romanticist writer of poetry and short stories, now considered one of the most important figures in Spanish literature. He adopted the alias of Bécquer as his brother Valeriano Bécquer, a painter, had done earlier. He was associated with the post-romanticism movement and wrote while realism was enjoying success in Spain. He was moderately well known during his life, but it was after his death that most of his works were published. His best known works are the Rhymes and the Legends, usually published together as Rimas y leyendas. These poems and tales are essential to the study of Spanish literature and common reading for high-school students in Spanish-speaking countries.

Now a classical piece.

Glad to know that our Eva is alright as the tornados are not near where she lives in Oklahoma.

Glad to have London with us today. Hope other countries will join us later.

From Letty with love and a feel good moment.

I do not know the work of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. I do know the music in the M Curie tribute.

Still dark in my wee studio, WA2K folks.

edgar, thanks for the questions and the comments. All Things Must Pass by the "fab four" was great, but one that I didn't know.

wm, Moody Blues' Deep and Haunted were really good. Not familiar with them, so thanks for the introduction.

hbg, I Love Coffee I do know. I best remember it by The Mills Bros. but that was a great version. Wow! Bach's Coffee Cantata was a wonderful surprise.

Ah, Brit the cruel sport of boxing. Do you remember "the brown bomber?"

What a surprise to find that Joe did My Way. The Bigger They Come was perfect!

Two ideas for the early morning here in Florida. First, a birthday girl and she is still with us.

Now, a photo and some info on edgar's observation.

Becquer:

One of his paintings.

http://images.ookaboo.com/photo/m/JoaquinDominguezBecquer_m.jpg

and, yawl, one of his poems.


If when the bluebells stir
on your balcony
you believe the murmuring wind
is passing with a sigh,
know that among the leaves, hidden,
it is I who sighs.

If when a vague murmur echoes
confused behind your back
you believe a distant voice
has called you by your name,
know that in the shadows about you
it is I who calls.

If in the depth of the night
your heart is troubled, afraid,
on feeling on your lips
the touch of a burning breath,
know that, unseen at your side,
it is I who breathes.

That is the English version of the Spanish poet.

@Barry The Mod,
Well, Brit, you sent me searching again.

Eulaulah Donyll Hathaway (born December 16, 1968) best known as Lalah Hathaway referred to as the First Daughter of Soul, is a contemporary R&B and jazz singer. She is the daughter of soul singer Donny Hathaway and a classically trained vocalist. In 1990, Lalah Hathaway released a self-titled album. The album's first single was "Heaven Knows", produced by Derek Bramble.

When Your Life was Low, was truly smooth jazz; loved that tenor sax as well. She is fantastic. Thanks for the introduction.

Another birthday girl.

I fondly remembe Patti Page. I don't know Bonnie Rait's songs that well, but she is a fine artist.

Becquer's poem reads pretty well in English. It must be brilliant, in Spanish.
