Good morning to you as well, Setanta. Nice to see you back with us. Love that long name greeting.

Another one by Bobby Darin. He's always worth listening to again and again

Thanks for the Bobby Darin songs. I felt an affinity for him that I have not felt for any other entertainers.

@edgarblythe,

Had no idea that Bobby Did Lonesome Whistle. Guess he was inspired by Hank Williams, Texas.

Another, as I played this on Izzie's Yabber Liner.

Also, yawl, going to play Sergio again as today is his birthday.

If I miscalculated, Setanta know that I was fixated at the concrete stage by Jean. Razz

@ButchBitchPriscilla,

Welcome to WA2K radio, Priscilla. You sent me searching, and I found this about Melissa .

Etheridge was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, the younger of two girls, to John Etheridge, a psychology teacher at Leavenworth High School, and Elizabeth Williamson, a computer consultant. She attended David Brewer School, which is still located at 17th and Osage Streets. She graduated in 1979 from Leavenworth High School (LHS), 10th Avenue and Halderman. Etheridge was a member of the first "Power and Life" musical/dance group at LHS which is still active today. Her childhood home was at 1902 Miami Street

Come to My Window was excellent, and thanks for the introduction.

Another birthday gal.

@eurocelticyankee,

euroGeorge, Glad to see you back in our studio again. From Fats Walter to Chubby Checker to The Peppermint twist. Loved it, Irish. When I sang, I learned all of the pop dances, but never could accomplish the Irish jig. Wow! one really had to be in shape to perform it, so here's a fiddle, a guitar, and two gals who know what they're doing

here is another great brazilian musician with all-time hit !

Quote:

Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim (January 25, 1927 – December 8, 1994), also known as Tom Jobim (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈtõ ʒoˈbĩ]), was a Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, and pianist/guitarist. He was a primary force behind the creation of the bossa nova style, and his songs have been performed by many singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and internationally.

Widely known as the composer of "The Girl from Ipanema" (Garota de Ipanema), one of the most recorded songs of all time, Jobim has left a large number of songs that are today included in the standard Jazz and Pop repertoires.
