@eurocelticyankee,
You are funny today, euroGeorge. Love In The Summertime by that group. Hey, man. Watch out for that silver bullet. Like Billy as well.

Don't know this guy, but today is his birthday. First, some info.

James Ambrose Johnson, Jr. (February 1, 1948 – August 6, 2004), better known by his stage name Rick James, was an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. James was a popular performer in the late 1970s and 1980s, scoring four number-one hits on the U.S. R&B charts performing in the genres of funk and R&B. Among his well known songs are "Super Freak", "Mary Jane" and "You and I".

In addition to his music, James gained notoriety for his wild lifestyle, which led to widely publicized legal problems, and which was famously satirized by Chappelle's Show in 2004.

Love it, incidentally.

@Letty,
Thanks for sorting that out for me Miss letty. The stray Cats had a modicum of success, I liked them.

I'll say good night. Enjoyed the music tonight.

When Rick James died, I did a thread about him. I was given much grief, because his behavior had offended people and they felt he did not deserve to be highlighted. - Edgar

Legal problemsThe start of the 1990s brought with it a string of bizarre and sometimes horrific incidents for Rick James. He was a known drug user, mainly addicted to cocaine; he later admitted to spending about US $7,000 a week on drugs for five years straight. In 1991, he and future wife Tanya Hijazi were accused of holding 24-year old Frances Alley hostage for up to six days (accounts vary on how long she was actually held), tying her up, forcing her to perform sexual acts, and burning her legs and abdomen with the hot end of a crack cocaine pipe during a week long cocaine binge. In 1993, while out on bail for that earlier incident, a coked-up James assaulted music executive Mary Sauger, at the St. James Club and Hotel in West Hollywood. Sauger claims she met James and Hijazi for a business meeting, but claims the two kidnapped and beat her over a 20-hour period.

He was found guilty of both offenses, but was cleared of a torture charge in the crack-pipe incident that could have put him in prison for the rest of his life. He served two years in Folsom Prison, and lost US $2 million in a civil suit to one of the women. He was released in 1996. In 1998, he recorded the song "Love Gravy" on the South Park soundtrack along with Ike Turner. In 1999, he appeared on Judge Joe Brown as a plaintiff suing Jerome Turner (J.T.) for a guitar and amp.

ah, euro. Loved Dublin City Ramblers. Sleep well, Irish.

Glad you gave us more info on that guy, edgar. I didn't know him at all. It just happened to be his birthday.

Hey, Brit. I know what a loo is and it's only a hop skip and a jump from here. Funny one, London. That's why I like that line from The Mills Brothers "..when you gotta glow you gotta glow.."

edgar, love the jester's version of On the Road again. This would make a good quote:
You ask why I don't live here
Honey, how come you don't move?

I only know Mean to Me by Lady Day. It's a good one.

Time for me to say goodnight, and prompted by that guy from Texas, I went searching and found Jeri.

My mom used to call it counterpin.

and from a man we all know.

The Land of Counterpane

by Robert Louis Stevenson

When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay,
To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.

I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.

Great to have Dublin, London, and Ontario with us today and tonight

From Letty with love to all of you.

Quote:
Stanley Getz (February 2, 1927 – June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophone player. Getz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, his prime influence being the wispy, mellow timbre of his idol, Lester Young.[1] Coming to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman's big band, Getz is described by critic Scott Yanow[2] as "one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists". Getz went on to perform in bebop, cool jazz and third stream, but is perhaps best known for popularizing bossa nova, as in the worldwide hit single "The Girl from Ipanema" (1964).

Sleep well, edgar. Great song by Emmy Lou, Dolly, and Linda. To Know Know Know him is to Love, Love, Love him.

hbg, Another great shanty song, Ontario. Sailors Stop Your Dreamin' was great.

Love The Girl from Ipanema, and Stan Getz is a jazz man that I love. So long ago I sang that on TV, and the guy who introduced me called it The Girl from Eyepanema.

Two songs for the early morning here.

First, it's Graham Nash's birthday so here he is with Crosby.

Well, Brit, you know what they say about "early birds". Just glad I didn't catch any worms. Love that one by Pet. Yep, I do believe I saw those planes, too.

Hurry back, edgar, and thanks for your comments. That oriental song about sailing was fantastic.

Here's Julie to sing one about silk.
