Playing For Change - I'd Rather Go Blind.

Good Morning, WA2K folks. edgar, hurry back. Michael from The Mountains was fantastic as was Jerry Lee's Ballad of Billy Joe.

hbg, Love Aretha Franklin. Happy Birthday, gal. Flip Wilson was one funny guy. Thanks for the memory, Ontario.

Hey Brit. Good to see you back. Praying For Change was really good. Never have figured out why Etta has her hair done blonde. I prefer the original color.

Today is Bela Bartok's birthday. Let's listen to some Romanian folk dances.

Johnny Mathis

Thanks, edgar, for your comment. Johnny's Wonderful, Wonderful was great and reminded me once again of sachmo.

I guess we need to keep on believing that.

To me Louis's record is one of the best ever recorded.

Reminds me of this by Ray

Love that one by Ray, edgar. Yes, everything is beautiful in its own way. That made my eyes water a bit.

Another birthday man, and he is fantastic.

He brought classical to the radio.

Great Toscanini, but now, Mr Paganini

A little Latin music, Angel Caido.

edgar, loved that one by Ella, especially Around Midnight.

MM, Welcome back. Fantastic song by Angel Caido.

More synchronicity, because I heard Ella do a bit from Toreador.

Love this, yawl.

That's a great song, letty. Dance of the Corregador offers some great sound also

a bull for miss letty's toreador

That's my favorite Herb Alpert song, rock.

edgar, you sent me searching again.

Anabel Montesinos is a winner of several major international guitar competitions, including the Francisco Tárrega in Spain and the Michele Pittaluga in Alessandria, Italy. She started her musical training at the age of five and the guitar at the age of six, and appeared, after a few months, as an infant prodigy. She performed a solo recital in Mallorca when she was just twelve.

Love her guitar and it's melody. Don't know it so thanks for the introduction.

Rock, Welcome back to you as well. The Lonely Bull is a great one as our edgar noted.

Another one from Spain. It doesn't need translating. I think most of us know La Paloma is a beautiful dove.

Never heard that version, letty.
I couldn't resist -

Hi Miss Letty, folks.

Spanish Train
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnaUvPoiTfQ

Wow! Today is Spain Day on WA2K.

edgar, Lady of Spain by Dick Contino was great.

Rock, Spanish Moon by Robert Palmer another goodie.

euro, Chris De Burgh's Spanish Train was a bit soul searching. Fabulous, Ireland, but a bit scary.

"..the rain in Spain lies mainly in the plain.." "I think she's got it."

Not a fly but a flea. (uhoh)

Another by Herb.
