"And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone
But that’s not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me"

Also, yawl, another memory.

Kim Novak is still with us. First time I ever saw a movie with Kevin Anderson.

Good afternoon. I have seen Van Cliburn in concert. Wonderful musician. I generally liked James Dean. Not quite a fanatic like some of his fans.

Jimmy Dean of Indiana

Thanks for restoring our signal, edgar. Love Jimmy Dean of Indiana. Phil Ochs is a great performer. Once again, we appreciate your comments.

Another birthday gal, but first some info.

Claudette Pace has participated in many local and international song festivals, and won several prestigious awards. In 1995, Claudette won the Best female artist award at the Malta Music Awards, an award she has been nominated for almost every year. Her CD album Beginnings was also nominated for Best album at the same awards show in 1998. Claudette's favourite musical genre continues being jazz. After winning the Malta Song For Europe festival on 15 January 2000, with the song Desire, penned by Maltese songwriter Gerard James Borg, Claudette Pace went on a small world tour to Germany, Australia and of course Sweden.

Fantastic one by Mario, edgar. Your comments are always appreciated.

I had no idea that he had done They Didn't Believe Me. Thanks for the memory.

Remember "the little tramp" Charlie Chaplin?

Robert Downy, Jr. did a movie about him.

I saw Downey's movie, letty.

Patti Page

ah, dear Patti Page, edgar. I think she was the first vocalist to harmonize with herself. Didn't know she did Throw Moma From the Train a Kiss.

Robert Downey, Jr. also did Sherlock Holmes. I didn't like the movie because he deviated from the real one too much.

Today is Jack Lemmon's birthday and I remember him best for The Days of Wine and Roses.

Here's Ray Brown with the theme from the movie replete with lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Gg3KIf71w&feature=related

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before

The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

I have watched Days of Wine and Roses more than once, letty. Jack Lemon was in several movies that I liked. His son, Chris, is a pretty good piano player.

Malvina Reynolds - Little Boxes.

Thanks for your comment about Wine and Roses, edgar. Tom and Jerry? Sounds like Simon and Garfunkel to me. Great one by that duo.

Hey, Brit. Welcome back. Love that Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds. Yep, there was a time when everything looked the same and everyone did the same.

Well, Today is Thors Day so maybe his thunder and hammer has everyone at bay.

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

First, The Doobie Brothers.

Now, Mario.

Calling Ontario and Dublin. Hmmm, need to cut my loud speaker on.



From Letty with love to the world

Thanks for Mario and the Doobies, letty. Good night everybody.

a splendid portrait of the life and times of Charles Dickens .

i think the william tell overture represents the rushing carriages and the girl running through the forest .
.............................................................................................................................

if you like somewhat softer music , how about " the Hebridis " by
Felix Mendelsohn-Bartoldy - who lived a little before Dickens ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UehaeOp4Ayk

and let's learn a little about his life - where was he born ?



another Hamburger ?

can't let the opportunity to play some Hamburg Music go by - even though it's following Mendelsohn .
