Thanks again, Texas, for your comment. Love that one by Leonard. What a talent. True Love Leaves No Traces is one that I didn't know.
Thinking of The Beach Boys today because they are planning a fifty year reunion. Now I understand why Dennis Wilson was coupled with Charles Manson. He met him and then showed him where Sharon Tate lived. Sad, sad, sad memory.
here i am sure that this from the new year's concert of the vienna philharmonic orchestra .
the " fast polka " is called " without stop " and refers to the signal given by the railway-station-attentand to the engine driver to procede .
the conductor is using the " red-and-green " signal device used by austrian and german railways to signal the driver .
notice that the drummer is wearing a red cap - used to indicate that he is " in charge " .
i'm not sure that hand-signalling is still used - but it looks spiffy .
Going to say good night with this.
letty, I dislike the Beach Boys very much.
Tom Waits as always is good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td1L3G6a2S4

I remember reading of the knights in their search, letty.
Didn't catch the author's name -
The Grail story is written around the end of the 12th century in a work by Robert de Borron . He wrote an early history of the Grail in his ‘Joseph of Arimathea', and identifies the Grail as the cup used at the Last Supper. The Grail is brought to Britain, where it is connected with the setting up of the Round Table by King Arthur's father, Uther Pendragon.
Sir Thomas Malory in his book (Death of Arthur) has had the greatest influence in the passing down of this legend. In it, King Arthur has been told that a particular seat at the Round Table will be filled by a knight who finds the Holy Grail. A stone is found with a sword firmly set into the centre of it. None of the existing knights can budge the sword, until Sir Galahad, son of Sir Lancelot, arrives at the Round Table. He can remove the sword. King Arthur and his knights set out on a quest to find the Holy Grail.
The Grail a vision of God that can been seen only if the viewer has led a pure life. Lancelot, because of his adultery with Queen Guinevere, can only see the Grail a a fuzzy outline in a dream. Perceval, who committed only one sin, is permitted only to see it in visions. Galahad alone is able to look into the Grail itself and to see what no other man can
After his vision Galahad dies, and the other knights return to Camelot
... ) OK....
