One Beatles song calls for a second.

Love that Fixing a Hole by the fab four, edgar. Maybe Harry and Odetta could use their help.

Good one by Harry and Odetta. I first came to love Odetta from the three songs she is on in that album.

Marjorie Hughes with Frankie Carle And His Orchestra - Little Jack Frost Get Lost.

Good one barry.
I am pretty sure Paul Anka wrote this Buddy Holly song

Thanks for the comments, edgar. Had no idea that Harry did Lord Randall My Son. Great. Oh Boy by Buddy was a good one, and I know that one, of course.(Don McLean)

Hey, Brit. Little Jack Frost Get Lost was funny. Never heard that one either.

Here's a tribute to the Rumba King whose birthday is today.

Alexander O'Neal - Thank You For A Good Year.

Hey, Brit, you sent me searching.

Alexander O'Neal (born November 15, 1953 in Natchez, Mississippi) is an American R&B singer. He is best-known for the songs "If You Were Here Tonight" and "Fake", and the duets with Cherrelle, "Saturday Love" and "Never Knew Love Like This"

Thank You For a Good Year was great.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with Roy.

Always good to see other countries with us tonight, and a blast from the past is better than a cold one from the future

From Letty with love and music

I have to correct my note about Paul Anka. He did not write Oh Boy for Buddy Holly. He wrote It Doesn't Matter Anymore for him.

I love Cugat and Roy Orbison, letty. I like Thank You For a Good Year.

Good morning from here in Florida.

edgar, Thanks again for your comments and loved Lobo's I'd Want you to Want Me . Doesn't lobo mean wolf? The Kingston Trio's El Matador was fantastic. OLE!

hbg, As usual, Strauss' New Year Concert was excellent. Love that guy.

Sweet Things - I'm In A World Of Trouble.

letty, deano's song was great - and new to me.
Roger Miller's song was pretty good. I am something of a fan of his work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-rxO4829o0&feature=related
an early rockabilly song

Sweet Things - I like that one. Never heard it before.

Hurry back, Brit. Don't wiggle too much, you might get back problems. Like edgar, I don't know Sweet Things.

edgar, thanks again for your comments on what we play here. Don't know Ersel Hickey either. Bluebirds Over the Mountain was a good one.

I always search for the original version of songs and productions, so here is 42nd Street. First some info.

42nd Street is a musical with a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, lyrics by Al Dubin, and music by Harry Warren. The 1980 Broadway production, directed by an ailing Gower Champion and orchestrated by Philip J. Lang, won the Tony Award for Best Musical and became a long-running hit. The show was produced in London in 1984 (winning the Olivier Award for Best Musical) and its 2001 Broadway revival won the Tony for Best Revival.

Based on the novel by Bradford Ropes and the subsequent 1933 film adaptation, it focuses on the efforts of famed dictatorial Great White Way director Julian Marsh to mount a successful stage production of a musical extravaganza at the height of the Great Depression

I hadn't paid attention to 42ND Street, but the finale makes it look pretty good.

Hudie Ledbetter
Boll Weevil

ah Ledbetter's Boll Weevil. Great one, edgar. Were he and his family a threat to cotton? "..when those cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton..." Thanks again for your comment.

Here's one about show business, but first some info on the man.

Nathan Lane (born February 3, 1956) is an American actor of stage and screen. He is best known for his roles as Mendy in The Lisbon Traviata, Albert in The Birdcage, Max Bialystock in the musical The Producers, Ernie Smuntz in MouseHunt, Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls, Pseudolus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and his voice work in The Lion King and Stuart Little. In 2006, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame.

Now the song.
