good night , to all !

Good morning, folks. See ya all later.

Thanks to Dublin, Ontario, London for the great music. Wish I could acknowledge each one, but a bit out of kilter today.

Hurry back, Texas.

Two songs for the mid morning here.

First, Bobby Darin.

Now, Charlie Pride.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KILX2MM2Yo&feature=related

Good songs by Charlie and Bobby, letty.
This is The Lost Canadian, sung in French by Leonard Cohen

edgar, thanks again for your comment. Leonard Cohen never ceases to amaze me. (I know. Amaze is supposed to be a boring word). He made respectable fun of everyone. Love it.

More synchronicity. Today is Chris Rock's birthday, and listen to the opening song.

Chris is a funny guy, letty. And the Beatles song is a good one for the tribute.

This is Hank Williams and Anita Carter

Thanks for your acknowledgement, edgar. Anita and Hank are great. He was a better poet than a singer, methinks. "...and my heart fell at your feet.."

Guess who is having a birthday today, Texas. Do you know him?

I love the classical music played in the background

I like the music in the background - not sure how well William Tell music fits Dickens, however - I agree with what the quoted authors have said about Dickens.

Some Korean music, this afternoon

Evening Ms Letty (another big ol' moon heading your way),Ed and all WA2K folks....

Minnie Riperton - Memory Lane.

edgar, yes, William Tell didn't quit fit.

Love that Korean song, Texas. Kiss Because I'm a Girl sounds rather like a song that tells a story. Tried to locate the info behind it but no luck. Odd, because I encountered a lovely young couple in the super market the other day. It was obvious that they had ethnic attributes so, as usual, I asked. She was Italian and he was Korean. All three of us exchanged delightful comments and she broke into a wonderful smile and said that it was a pleasure meeting me.

Hey, London. Welcome back to you. You sent me searching concerning Minnie Riperton. Memory Lane was fabulous.

Minnie Julia Riperton (November 8, 1947 – July 12, 1979) was an American singer-songwriter best known for her vocal range of five-and-a-half octaves, and her 1975 single "Lovin' You". She was married to songwriter and music producer Richard Rudolph from 1972 until her death in the summer of 1979. They had two children - music engineer Marc Rudolph and actress/comedienne Maya Rudolph.

Speaking of Memory Lane, here's one by "old blue eyes".

There was a big full moon last evening, too. Guess I'll have to do my best impression of a coyote.

Frank did that one nice and smooth.
Minnie Ripperton was a great artist.

Don't be squeezing no banana

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KebYiX0p8U&feature=related
Walter tells of a certain weevil.

Love that Don't Be Squeezing No Banana, edgar. Louis Prima was great on that one.

Also like that version of the cotton bowl weevil by Walter.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs.

First, since Louis mentioned coconuts and Walter mention cotton, here's a funny one by a Cotton man.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAEngcdLlVQ&NR=1&feature=endscreen

Hmmm! I thought Monty Python did that one originally.

Now, another moon song.

Goonight to all of you and it was great having London with us today.

From Letty with love to the world

I remember Lovely Bunch of Coconuts from when I was pretty young, letty. Didn't know JANET SEIDEL, but she is pretty good.

Bobbi Humphrey - Harlem River Drive.

Laters WA2K.

here is another " Moonsong " ( and Roses are being added for letty ! ) .

before anyone snatches her away : Syd Charisse - it's her birthday today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EL05alymtI&feature=related

good night !

Still dark here, and that big 'ol moon is hanging over the canal.

edgar, Thanks for your comment, and I Need a Man to Love by dear Janis was tragically beautiful "...I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and walked away..."

London, Bobbi Humphrey's Harlem River Drive was a great jazz song. Had to check and found that she was a woman. The flute in the background was perfect.

hbg, Moonlight and Roses is one beautiful song. Thanks Ontario. Love Cyd Charisse. She was married to Tony Martin, and he's still with us.

Thinking of John Williams today, but I found this tribute to old songs of the movies' themes.
