The Lightning Seeds - The Life Of Riley.

Same chord changes!

Morning, Ms. Letty. A little note on Toots Hibbert of Toots & the Maytals. Among his many accomplishments, he is credited with inventing the word reggae, although he may have spelled it reggay, with this record:

Hey, Brit, I love "the boss's" We Take Care of Our Own. Don't know The Lightning Seeds, but that guy was fantastic. Reminds me of the lightning bugs that we used to catch when I was a kid in Virginia.

yitwail, I love, love, love reggae music. Thanks for that one by The Maytals.

Somehow, I was thinking of this lady who was born in Richmond, Virginia.

Shirley MacLean Beaty (born April 24, 1934), known professionally as Shirley MacLaine, is an American film and theater actress, singer, dancer, activist and author, well known for her beliefs in New Age spirituality and reincarnation. She has written a large number of autobiographical works, many dealing with her spiritual beliefs as well as her Hollywood career. She was nominated for an Academy Award five times before winning the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1983 for her role in Terms of Endearment. Her younger brother is Warren Beatty.

Here's a funny one by her and Jerry Lewis.

I always liked Shirley McClaine in the old days.

Red Foley

I liked the movie Terms of Endearment, although it was funny and sad at the same time, edgar.

Great one by Rambling Jack Foley, especially the radio Joe part.

Today is Zero Mostel's birthday. Anyone remember Fiddler on the Roof?.

Love this one from the movie.

I have seen Fiddler on the Roof, letty. The only thing keeping me from seeing it a second time is the length of it. Takes lots of patience and a little prudence

Always loved Cannonball's version, with a super band: Cannonball Adderley (alto saxophone); Charles Lloyd (tenor saxophone, flute); Nat Adderley (cornet); Joe Zawinul (piano); Sam Jones (bass); Louis Hayes (drums).

Wow! Great jazz version of that fiddler, turtle man. Loved it.

I think everyone may have missed this, so I'm going to replay it.

From the Science Desk - after many delays,she lifts off....

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket blasts off from Space Launch Complex-41 with the U.S. Navy Mobile User Objective System-1 (MUOS-1) satellite. The nearly 15,000 pounds satellite is the heaviest satellite launched to date by an Atlas launch vehicle. MUOS-1, built by Lockheed Martin, is a next-generation narrowband tactical satellite communications system designed to significantly improve ground communications for U.S. forces.

Back to the music....

Dusted - Always Remember To Respect And Honour Your Mother.
bet you never thought I'd post that one .

Ah, I missed it, Brit. My neighbor across the street went to the Cape and said that it had been commercialized which means the government no longer controls the rockets. In a way, that's good, because people are now getting jobs.

Why should we be surprised that you played that beautiful song about mother by Dusted. It was very heart warming. I always called my mother, Mamma.

Here's Paul Robeson to tell you how some folks feel when they're down

Now, a birthday guy that I don't know, so here's some info on Tommy Tune.

Always nice to have Mr. Turtle from Hawaii with us. Dublin and London too, of course.

From letty with love, as always

I remember Tommy Tune. And For all We Know is a fine song.

Françoise Hardy - All Over The World.

edgar, Love the crooners' Don't Fence Me in.

hbg, We wondered where you were and you've been hanging out with John Phillip Sousa. Didn't someone do a movie about him? Need to check that out.

Morning, Brit. That was funny. The Domino Effect always makes me smile. Never thought of it via mattresses, however.

Your Francoise Hardy song reminded me of this one.
