Ah, I just saw that the launch was scrubbed. I know that this is an old adage, but "Better safe than sorry."

Thanks to all of you for the music and the soul lifting meaning of the lyrics.

edgar, When you said Stairway to Heaven I thought you meant Neil was going to do Led Zepplin. I like him and I recall Calender Girl.

euro, To Heal by Underworld was calming, somehow.

Brit, all of your music was wonderful. Wish I could acknowledge each one, but I'm a bit under the weather myself.

Wes Montgomery's version of Windy brought back some sad memories, however.

Here's Led doing stairway.

@Letty,
Sorry to hear you're under the weather Miss Letty. I hope things will soon brighten up for you.

Good night Miss Letty, have a good night now.

@edgarblythe,
Goodnight, dear euro, as edgar observed, Here Comes the Sun by the fab four is great.

edgar, thanks for your comment on Led's Stairway, and "the jester's " Lay Down Your Weary Tune" is one that I don't know. Great one.

I guess it's time for me to lie down, yawl. I've seen better days so let's hope they return.

How about some quiet jazz for my goodnight song.

So nice to have Dublin, London, and Ontario with us.

From Letty with love to the world.

this is not " nice quiet " , but johann strauss' " thunder and lightning " .
since it's johann's birthday , perhaps he'll be forgiven .

ps. since i spent a year in vienna as a 10 year old boy , i have a particular fondness for things viennese - music , food , chocolates - and their particular kind of " gemuetlichkeit " .
it's difficult to translate ; it's their way of taking life easy - not to rush anything -as strauss' waltz says : " wine , women and song " .

good night to all wa2k listeners from ontario !

Goodnight to you, hbg.

edgar, loved Judy's Albatross. I guess, in a way, we all have one hanging around somewhere.

hbg, Strauss, Jr's. concert was fantastic, and for some reason, I thought of three tiny reindeer.

Do I hear a waltz?

Absolutely warming and delightful. Wine, Women, and Song was marvelous.

Odd, WA2K folks. I awakened early this morning thinking of Russian music.

Let's listen to TWO.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for your comment, edgar, and although I don't know Jackie DeShannon, that was a great version of Splendor in the Grass. Know The Byrds, however.

I was beginning to think that the Russians had destroyed our signal.

There was a movie about Splendor in the Grass. It starred Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty.

Somehow, I was thinking about this man today.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson born (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand.

When I was a kid, I read most of his books, but this one was funny to me.

http://www.deafhooddiscourses.com/2009/jabberwocky.jpg

and this verse, funny.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy."

Here's Alice.

@Rockhead,
Rock, Welcome back to you as well. Had no idea that Jefferson Airplane did The White Rabbit. Great one, Kansas, and glad that you are alright.

Speaking of Looking Glass. (remember that one about Alice?)

@Barry The Mod,
Welcome back, Brit. Odd about the clouds because I just received a message from Carrie about this lady.

I liked the Alice information and music. Judy Collins, of course.
The following number has a gruesome title, but the video is engaging and the song ain't bad.

edgar, thanks again for your comment. That one by "the jester" is great, but no explanation as to it's meaning.

I did find this in about The Commodores, however.

This is a tribute to singers Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson, who both died in 1984. Gaye was a Motown star known for love songs like "Let's Get It On" and "Sexual Healing." Wilson was an R&B singer known for his stirring performances and hits like "Lonely Teardrops." Wilson was 49 when he died, Gaye was 44. Both are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Goodnight Brit. Like your theme from Shaft. Hope the fredster watches over you until Saturday night time.

Going to say good night with two songs. First Chopin.

Now, The Lettermen do the popular version.

Nice to see London with us today, and earlier on, Ontario.

From Letty with love and hope that The Dixie Queen and The Dancing Queen are alright.
