Quote:
Andrés Segovia Torres, 1st Marquis of Salobreña (pronounced: [anˈdɾes ˈtores seˈɣoβja]) (February 21, 1893 – June 2, 1987[1]), known as Andrés Segovia, was a virtuoso Spanish classical guitarist from Linares, Jaén, Andalucia, Spain. He is widely considered to be one of the best known and most influential classical guitar personalities of the 20th century,[2][3] having a considerable influence on later guitarists, particularly because of important guitar works that were dedicated to him by composers such as Federico Moreno Torroba.[4][5]

Segovia is credited for his modern-romantic repertoire, mainly through works dedicated to him by modern composers, but he also created his own transcriptions of classical works that were originally for other instruments. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide palette of tone, and his distinctive (often instantly recognizable) musical personality in tone, phrasing and style.

Goodnight, edgar. Don't know Choctaw Bingo. I like it, and thanks for the introduction.

hbg, Love that classical guitar by Segovia. You stayed up late, I got up early.

You sent me searching, Ontario, and I found this.

Also another classic, replete with lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FZoXpj6JFg

Granada, I'm falling under your spell,
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell.
Of an age the world has long forgotten,
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Granada today
.
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada.
For she can remember the splendor that once was Granada.
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wander along,
Entranced by the beauty before me,
Entranced by a land full of flowers and song.
When day is done and the sun touch the sea in Granada,
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Tierra Novada,
Soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Carbinera.
Then moonlit Granada will live again,
The glory of yesterday, romantic and gay.
(musical interlude)
And soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Carbinera.
Then moonlit Granada will live again,

The first one is great, letty. And Grenada is one of the classic songs that a number of artists recorded, that is always worth a listen.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for your comment, edgar. Ah, dear John Lennon. Jealous Guy was a great one by him.

Today is another John's birthday, so here is a tribute to him.

I have always liked John. Not so much Pulp Fiction, but most of his work.
The Highwaymen, doing the music, are not so bad either.

@edgarblythe,
thanks again for your comments, edgar. I love Sam Cooke, and I remember, You Send Me.

Today is Matt Dillon's birthday, and although I saw The Outsiders in which he starred, I had to search out the plot.

The movie details a town split between the wealthy South Zone gang called 'The Socials' and the poor North Zone gang called 'The Greasers'. Dallas Winston, Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade from 'The Greasers' befriend the rich Cherry Valance and Marcia at a drive-in. Later that night, a group of 'The Socs' chase and beat up Johnny and attempt to drown Ponyboy in a fountain. However, Johnny stabs one Soc and kills him, saving Ponyboy. The desperate boys seek Dallas who finds a hideout for them in a nearby town. One week later, Johnny and Ponyboy decide to return to their hometown, with Dallas, to claim the murder as self-defense. But on their way back, they see the church on fire and Ponyboy and Johnny help the children trapped in the church and become heroes. However Johnny is badly wounded and confined to the hospital. Meanwhile The Socs and The Greasers prepare to fight.

Never have gotten the connection between that movie and this Frost poem.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay

Now, the entire cast of the movie. What a surprise.

@edgarblythe,
Just found out that the rocket business at the Cape has become commercialized. No more government stuff. Well, that does help the job situation.

While we await your sound off to sound on, here another Gold song.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for the comment, edgar. That version of Laredo was hilarious. Thanks for the smile, Texas.

UhOh, I got John Williams and Victor Young confused. Here's my memory of Around the World in 80 Days.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOHKxIA0wkc&feature=related

and, the lyrics.

Around the world I’ve searched for you,
I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous.

I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow,
you’d look at me and I would see the smile you’re smiling now.

It might have been in County Down,
or in New York, in Gay Paree, or even London Town.

No more will I go all around the world,
for I have found my world in you.

Around the World is a song I like very much. Odd that it outlived the film it was written for.

Funkadelic is great, Brit, and One Nation under a Groovy Good.

I know Saturday Night at the Movies by The Drifters. Good one.
