edgar, I missed Leonard. A Bunch of Lonesome Heros was great.

Brit, you're funny tonight, and I think euro thought so as well.

I checked our The Pianist and found this brief bit of info.

A Polish Jewish musician struggles to survive the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto of World War II. If I remember correctly, Hitler's invasion of Poland was the start of WWII.

Ah, dear Judy Garland. I love A Cottage for sale. How Can You Mend a Broken Heart was good as well.

I do know that Chopin wanted this one played at his funeral. So I think that I shall say goodnight with Mozart's Requiem.

@Letty,

letty ,
are you sure you don't know george segal ???

Quote:

Early life
George Segal, Jr. was born in 1934 Great Neck, Long Island, New York, the son of Fannie Blanche (née Bodkin) and George Segal, Sr.[1][2][3] He was educated at George School, a private Quaker preparatory boarding school near Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He also attended Haverford College.[4] He graduated in 1955 from Columbia University.

Career
Segal has played both drama and comedy, although he is more often seen in the latter. Originally a stage actor and musician, Segal appeared in several minor films in the early 1960s in addition to the well-known 1962 movie The Longest Day. He was signed to a Columbia Pictures contract in 1961, making his film debut in The Young Doctors and appearing in The Naked City produced for television by Columbia's Screen Gems.[5]

He started attracting roles in 1965 as a distraught newlywed in Ship of Fools, as a P.O.W. in King Rat in a role originally meant for Frank Sinatra, and as an Algerian paratrooper captured at Dien Bien Phu, who leaves the French army to become a leader of the FLN in Lost Command. He was loaned to Warner Bros for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (as Nick, for which he was nominated for an Oscar), later appearing as a British secret service agent in The Quiller Memorandum, a Cagneyesque gangster in The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, perplexed police detective Mo Brummel in No Way to Treat a Lady, a bookworm in The Owl and the Pussycat, a war-weary platoon commander in The Bridge at Remagen, a man laying waste to his marriage in Loving, and a hairdresser turned junkie in Born to Win.

Segal starred with Ruth Gordon in Carl Reiner's 1970 dark comedy Where's Poppa? He played a burglar in the 1972 comedy The Hot Rock with Robert Redford, a comically unfaithful husband in A Touch of Class and a midlife crisis victim in Blume in Love. He co-starred with Jane Fonda as suburbanites-turned-bank-robbers in Fun with Dick and Jane, and starred as a faux gourmet in Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?

perhaps you remember this song ?

Good night folks. Good Chopin, letty. George Segal is a favorite of mine.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Sorry, hbg, I know that song but simply don't remember George Segal. I read The Longest Day and found Bink Noll's Lunch on Omaha Beach, but the starring roles of George, I simply don't recall.

Brit, I really like that song by 10cc. I'm not in love was great.

Thanks, edgar, for your comment.

Today is Melissa Manchester's birthday, so here is one by her.

Good morning, all. Letty, I never knew the name or artist of that song. Always liked it, however.

Used to hear this song over and over on the radio.

@edgarblythe,

Well, Texas, you sent me searching again.

Bobby Day (July 1, 1928 – July 27, 1990), was an early African American rock and roll and R&B musician. Don't know him but your song reminded me of this one, buddy.

@edgarblythe,

Yep, edgar, I do know Rockin' Robin. So long ago when we played a gig at a local club people kept requesting that song and our drummer, Bob (RIP) jumped up and yelled, "We're Not a Bird Band".

Speaking of birds, I think most of us know that Bird land in NYC was started by this guy.

@Barry The Mod,

Wiggle on? Is that a dance, Brit? Razz

I sang right along with that great Latin Jazz Ensemble. Also loved the riff parts.

Thanks for the introduction and the dance, Barry.

A birthday gal, but not half as good as your version of Lullaby of Birdland. Even Shearing would be delighted with your rendition.

Okay, Let's hear from Jane Child, but first some info.

Jane Child (born 15 February 1967, Toronto) is a Canadian dance-pop singer, producer and musician.

Bet the Canucks will know this.

@edgarblythe,

Hmmm, I believe that the guys I hired to do my electrical work also restored our signal.

Welcome back, edgar, and I really like that one by Dennis Day. Thanks for your comments.

Today is this lady's birthday, but first some info.

Jane Seymour, OBE (born Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg; 15 February 1951) is an English actress best known for her performances in the James Bond film Live and Let Die (1973), East of Eden (1982), Onassis: The Richest Man in the World (1988), and the American television series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993–1998). She has earned an Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2000.

Didn't realize that she was so talented.

@edgarblythe,

I just wasn't aware that Jane was a painter, edgar.

Boy, buddy, that song by Tom T tells a real story. Don't Forget the Coffee Billy Jo was really good, Texas.

Hope euroGeorge is alright and that he took a Bayer to beat the banger.

Saying goodnight with Barry White.

Hope all is well with everyone on our forum, and it was great to have London with us as always.

From Letty with love and comfort.

edgar, Little Richard's True Fine Mama was great. He still continues to perform well.

hbg, Loved Stormy Weather by Martha Wainwright. Never heard her before, but she is one great vocalist.

Odd, Tomorrow another rocket will be launched at the Cape. I haven't figured out why as yet, but the name is Atlas.

Here's another birthday man.

For those of us who have forgotten him, here is some info.

Levardis Robert Martyn Burton, Jr. (born February 16, 1957), professionally known as LeVar Burton, is an American actor, director, producer and, author.

Burton first came to prominence portraying Kunta Kinte in the 1977 award-winning ABC television miniseries Roots, based on the novel by Alex Haley. He is also well known for his role as Lt. Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation as well as the host of the PBS children's program Reading Rainbow.

I think most of us realize that Roots was fiction.
