@edgarblythe,
Thanks for your comments, edgar, and you sent me searching again.

Torok was born in Houston, Texas to Hungarian immigrants Naclos and Irene Torok. He was playing guitar by the age of 12, and attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas from 1948 through 1952. He minored in world history and graduated with a degree in art and journalism. Torok played baseball with team from Garrison, Texas while in college.

Great song by the man and thanks for the introduction.

Today is a legend's birthday. Here's a tribute to him.

I knew two songs in the background music. Every Beat of my Heart and A Whiter Shade of Pale.

I grew up watching Robert Young (and listening to Father Knows Best on the radio). Was not so much into his doctor character. Marcus Welby. Great man.

Here is Randy Travis, a man of clean reputation, until he was arrested for public drunkenness. I watched the police video. He appeared to be quietly sitting in his car when they approached him. He said by way of explanation that he celebrated the superbowl more than he ought have.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for your comments, edgar. I know Randy Travis, Texas, but didn't know about his having been drunk in public.

On The Other Hand was a hit in 1986 and here's another that I like.

I don't think badly of Randy for that. I have been guilty of conduct much worse.

Well, Brit, we've all been guilty of lots of things. Loved your Superman theme. Yep, even the super guy had an Achilles heel.

As Time Goes By from Casablanca was great. Sleep well, London.

edgar, Tex Ritter's Rye Whiskey was a good one, and I always appreciate the comments that are made

Roger Miller's widow made the news today, so I thought of this one

and Mel Brooks' funny Robin Hood, Men Wearing Tights.

Love having London, Dublin, and Scotland with us on WA2K.

From Letty with love to all.

Heavy rains have flooded 2,000 hectares [approximately 4,950 acres] of banana plantations on the Ecuadorian coast. Other crops that were affected are cocoa, coffee, and rice.


of course , the song about the shortage was written long ago :

edgar, Hank Williams Mansion on the Hill was great as was your Roger Miller song. Didn't know that one, Texas.

Hey, Brit. Man or Muppet was good as well; funny, too.

hbg, you have played a lot of songs; hope I didn't miss one.

Yes, We Have No Bananas; Steve Holly's Good Morning Beautiful; and saddest of all, Freddy Mercury's How Can I Go On. Love that one by Cat Stevens. Yep, we celebrated Sergio's birthday. Love that guy.

A famous composer's birthday is today.

Happy Birthday, Handel. Love this one by him.
