Quote:

Brickell married singer-songwriter Paul Simon on May 30, 1992.[7] Brickell was performing on NBC's Saturday Night Live on Saturday November 5, 1988 when she noticed Simon standing in front of the cameraman. "He made me mess the song up when I looked at him," she said with a smile. "We can show the kids the tape and say, 'Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other.'" Brickell and Simon have three children—Adrian, Lulu and Gabriel.

Quote:

Leopold Anthony Stokowski (April 18, 1882 – September 13, 1977) was a British-born, naturalised American orchestral conductor, well known for his free-hand performing style that spurned the traditional baton and for obtaining a characteristically sumptuous sound from many of the great orchestras he conducted.

In America, Stokowski performed with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the NBC Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony of the Air and many others. He was also the founder of the All-American Youth Orchestra, the New York City Symphony, the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra and the American Symphony Orchestra. He conducted the music for and appeared in Disney's Fantasia and was a lifelong champion of contemporary composers, giving many premieres of new music during his 60-year conducting career. Stokowski, who made his official conducting debut in 1909, appeared in public for the last time in 1975 but continued making recordings until June 1977, a few months before his death at the age of 95. !!!

@hamburgboy,

hbg, you were really on a roll, buddy. Love Ella and Jimmy doing Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey. Wish I could comment on all your great songs. I do recall Jimmy saying:

Us chemical professors don't get out of the lavatory too often. Razz

Loved edgar's Ave Maria from Fantasia as well.

Forgot that today was daylight savings time.

a couple of songs for the morning here. First, a birthday man.

Used to get him and Bob Marley mixed up, so here is some info.

Bobby McFerrin was born in Manhattan, New York City, the son of operatic baritone Robert McFerrin and singer Sara Copper. Robert Sr. was the first African American to be a regular with New York's Metropolitan Opera. Sara is a former soloist with regional opera companies and in Broadway shows, and is a professor emeritus of music at Fullerton College in Fullerton, California.

Bobby McFerrin married Debbie Green in 1975. They have three children.

McFerrin's song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" was a No. 1 U.S. pop hit in 1988 and won Song of the Year and Record of the Year honors. McFerrin has also worked in collaboration with instrumental performers, including pianists Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Joe Zawinul, drummer Tony Williams, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

Awakened to a classic film from TCM, and I love this theme from Boy on a Dolphin.

@hamburgboy,

Great songs, hbg. Love those men wearing hats and dancing. The outdoor concert was good as well.

Didn't you once tell me that you had been to Buena Vista? Maybe that was John of Virginia.

Here's one by The Rascals.

@Letty,

Good Morning Letty Smile

this is a great song to dance to, Haddaway, What is love.

1 Reply

@jcboy,

Afternoon, Morgan. (almost, anyway). Yep, That one by Haddaway is a good one to wake a person up and dance. What is Love? Never did figure that one out. Some vocalist once said, " You Don't Know What Love is, until you've Learned the Meaning of the Blues".

Good video, incidentally.

You rascal, how about this one?

I didn't see Boy on a Dolphin or a dolphin on a boy, for that matter. Nice music, though. I have always admired Bobby McFerrin.

@edgarblythe,

edgar, Thanks again for your comment. Love Sam Cook's cover of that Johnny Mercer song.

Here's another song written by Johnny Mercer. What a talent that man was.

they've toured throughout canada - but never had the chance to hear them live .

@hamburgboy,

That's what inspired me to ask, hbg. It must have been someone else, then.

Well, we both know that Buena Vista means beautiful view so here is one that is one of Australia.
