Welcome back to you as well, Barry. Love that guy and you sent me searching.

Gilberto Passos Gil Moreira, better known as Gilberto Gil or, is a Brazilian singer, guitarist, and songwriter, known for both his musical innovation and political commitment.

Brassed Off - Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez.

The musician who calls himself Moby is the great-grandnephew of Herman Melville who wrote Moby Dick. Moby performed Ring of Fire as a duet with Suzanne Vega recently.

Hurry back, Brit and edgar. Really enjoy both of your songs.

hbg is back once again, and Frank's Love Me Love Me Love Me was so tender. I recall his Music Box Dancer. You hurry back as well.

Barry, I especially enjoyed the concerto by Brassed Off, and, of course, The Jingles.

Welcome back to you as well, Wandel. Wow! Great one by Moby. I've only heard Ring of Fire by the man in black. I never think of Moby Dick that I don't think of yitwail. Hope he and JM are alright.

Really got inspired by all the music on WA2K. Here's one that I recall by Edison Lighthouse.

Wonder if hbg knows this one.

I like both of your songs, letty.

One for the clearing skies.

Thanks again for your comment, edgar.

Eric was another I didn't like in the beginning, but Angie is a good one. Of course, every body wants their picture on the cover of The Rolling Stones.

The visuals in your video reminded me of this one, Texas.

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

Here are the lyrics.


'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone
All her lovely companions are faded and gone
No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem
Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead

So soon may I follow when friendships decay
And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown
Oh who would inhabit this bleak world alone?
This bleak world alone.

Speaking of roses, this is the first song I ever heard Johnny Cash sing.

I remember that one by Johnny, edgar. I didn't care for him in the beginning either, but have come to admire the man.

yes , letty , i do know that song !

but do you know this little musical gem ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9UJ3kSztFo

the translation would be " parade of the gnomes " - a typical piece of " coffee house music " - usually played in the afternoon by 3 - 4 retired musicians - while the ladies sipped coffee and nibbled cake .

it was particularly well-known in vienna .

and here is slightly different version with a pix of the gnomes

...............................................................................................
off to supper - hope to be back later .

hbg, I didn't know that beautiful German music, but I love the violins and the gnomes. Here's some lovely music to go with your supper.

Remember this guy?



and I love this song, Ontario.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXtSP8e27rA&feature=related

I have heard it said, and I don't know the proof of this but it may be likely, that modern-day garden gnomes are the descendants of the Priapus figures which used to be placed in Roman gardens, and houses, for luck.

Was that from Sound of Music, letty. I have never seen the film and don't know some of the songs.

Hoagy

thanks for " the sound of music " , letty !
..................................................................
better not call it " german music " - the austrians might not like it !
......................................................................................................................
let's go back one more time to the " kaffee haus " .
this is some typical music und some really nice pix , too .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kp0em6zYRA

( for the price of a cup of coffee you'll be able to stay in the caffe all day - chat with your friends , read all the newspapers provided and look after your correspondence - most of them would now have WI-FI installed . )

hbg just cleared that up, edgar. Frankly, it's the only song that I liked from that movie.

Didn't know that one by Hoagy, Texas. I'll have to check that out later.

Oops, Ontario, am I in trouble?

Well, I loved that Viennese coffee music, and thanks for playing it.

Going to say goodnight with two songs.

First, Johnny.

Now, a different vocalist sings this moon song.

Great to have Canada, Scotland, and London with us today.

From Letty with love and memories
