Ah, edgar, you know how I love King Harvest.

How about a Ball.

Where do you begin with the pioneer Les Paul. Perfecter of overdubbing, multi-track recording (latched onto by the Beatles), tape delay, phasing effects, designer of the solid-body (Les Paul) guitar, and several other commonly used electronic devices and effects used today universally in the popular music industry.

He and his wife, Mary Ford were a legendary popular performing duo who were big hit-makers of the early- to mid-'50s. Here are two of their biggest hits. Note the sound or technique is top-notch and is not even close to being dated::

Ragman/Russ, Welcome back to you as well.

Love Vaya Con Dios by Les and Mary as well as How High the Moon.

Saying goodnight with two songs. First, a new lady to me so here is some info.

Dee Dee Bridgewater (born May 27, 1950) is an American Jazz singer. She is a three-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter, as well as a Tony Award - winning stage actress and host of National Public Radio's syndicated radio show JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater. She is a United Nations Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Now her song.

So nice to have Wandel, Ragman, and Barry with us today. Perhaps we shall hear from hbg and euroGeorge tomorrow.

From Letty with love to everyone, everywhere.

Good songs, letty. Time for me to be off to bed.

Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,
Get up, get up get out of bed,
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,
Live, laugh, love and be happy.

Strange, the full moon awakened me again last evening, edgar. Ah, the magic of the tides, the shore, the birds, and, of course, music. It was a surprise to find that The Mills Brothers did that song. The Fab Four did a great job of lulling you to sleep.

Chopin.

Perry.

Once, it was thought that Chopin died of TB, but that is being challenged.

Let us not forget art.

Our painting for today.

Wow! That was a young Willie Nelson, edgar. Wonder at what point his hair turned red? Thanks again for your comment.

Well, we all know by now that Dolly Parton's song, I Will Always Love You was dedicated to Porter.

I remember names by using pnemonic devices. (RNA the memory gene)

My only friend here is Sharon. Everyone else has moved away. Regardless of your faith, here is a beautiful song for Sunday.

Walter Shakey Horton - Shakey's Blues

You sent me searching again, edgar. (thanks for the comments)

Walter Horton, better known as Big Walter Horton or Walter "Shakey" Horton, (April 6, 1917 – December 8, 1981) was an American blues harmonica player. A quiet, unassuming and essentially shy man, Horton is remembered as one of the premier harmonica players in the history of blues. Willie Dixon once called Horton "the best harmonica player I ever heard.

We all know that Gus was really this guy.

Bluebirds over the Mountain

Don't know Bluebirds over the Mountains, edgar, and once more you sent me searching.

Ersel Hickey (June 27, 1934 - July 12, 2004), born in Brighton, New York was a rockabilly singer best known for his hit song "Bluebirds over the Mountain".

Thanks for the introduction, Texas.

I have never seen a bluebird, and I just found out that there are three different type. They're all a member of the thrush family.

Here's one variety.



Why are they always referred to as "happiness"?

You reminded me of Al Jolson singing this one.

Slum drummers....

Lullaby of Spring

Just sing....

Sing - Gary Barlow & The Commonwealth Band featuring Military Wives

edgar, thanks again for your comment on Al. Lullaby of Spring by Donovan was great.

Hey, Brit, Welcome back. Loved Kenya's Slum Drums. It's all about innovation. Gary Barlow's Military Wives was also a goodie, and reminded me of this funny song.

I know that Civilization song, but never knew the title.

Love that Bowl Weevil song by Walter, edgar.

Interesting fact of history.

While Eli Whitney is best remembered as the inventor of the cotton gin, it is often forgotten that he was also the father of the mass production method. In 1798 he figured out how to manufacture muskets by machine so that the parts were interchangeable. It was as a manufacturer of muskets that Whitney finally became rich. If his genius led King Cotton to triumph in the South, it also created the technology with which the North won the Civil War.

Another Cotton song, Texas.

Put a tent in that cottonfield and you have a picture of my birth site.
