That music reminds me somewhat of a few Paul McCartney songs. Here is a guitarist I really like

@edgarblythe,
Don't know Zakk's Farewell Ballad, edgar. Wow! that guitar is really colorful.

Here's a jazz guitarist that I discovered. Joe Pass, but first some info.

Joe Pass (born Joseph Anthony Jacobi Passalaqua, January 13, 1929 – May 23, 1994) was an Italian-American jazz guitarist of Sicilian descent. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest jazz guitarists of the 20th century. His extensive use of walking basslines, melodic counterpoint during improvisation, use of a chord-melody style of play and outstanding knowledge of chord inversions and progressions opened up new possibilities for jazz guitar and had a profound influence on future guitarists.

Now, Satin Doll replete with lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMNlLbRrZc0&feature=related

Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.

Baby, shall we go out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks Latin that satin doll.

She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me,
Switch-a-rooney!

Telephone numbers well you know,
Doin' my rhumbas with uno
And that 'in my Satin Doll.

By Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Johnny Mercer.

I'm not too hip on jazz guitar. Mostly I like vocal music. There are lots of exceptions, such as several by herb alpert.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for your honest comment, edgar. I like everything Herb Alpert did, and The Lonely Bull was one of them.

Our Ursula is back home, so we'll do this one for her.

@edgarblythe,
You're funny today edgar. Think I'll rename you "the jester"

I Love You So Much it Hurts me is a great one by Ray.

Jamie Foxx did a movie of him, remember it?

Here's the trailer.

Hmmm! It seems to me that Jamie is doing a movie of another guy, but can't recall who.

I bought a DVD of Ray. I thought Jamie was excellent, but was not in love with the script.

@edgarblythe,
Don't know that one by the jester, edgar, but I liked it.

Saying goodnight with two songs.

First Willie and Ray

Just found out that Jamie Foxx is starring in the story of Cassius Clay/Mohammad Ali movie.

Now a birthday gal.

Glad that hbg could be with us today. Maybe Sunday will be our good news day.

From Letty with love and hope

Lena Horne has always been one of my favorite artists, as are Willie and Ray.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks, edgar, for keeping us on the air.

Red River Valley by Joe was great as was Imagination by "old Blue eyes".

Muddy Waters' Corrina, Corrina was a goodie as was Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song by Kenny and Dottie.

Two songs for the afternoon here.

First, a birthday gal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ2YQ4Bo2ts&feature=related

Now, "the misty miss Christie". Had no idea she was an alcoholic.

Horrible storms in Virginia and West Virginia. Can't get in touch with my daughter who is also ill.

I bought the CD of Blondie's hit songs. Heart of Glass and a couple others are really very good.
June Christy has my favorite version of Willow Weep.

Some folks are surprised that I like Boy George, but he has a great voice and delivery.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks again for your comments, edgar.

I, too, like Boy George, especially that song by him.

Here's another birthday lady, and she is still with us.

@edgarblythe,
Me, too, edgar. There Were Roses by Tommy was lovely. I do recall Bobby Darin saying "....my feet stands on Tommy Sands..."

Another memorable birthday guy.

I have always viewed Dan Ackroid as somewhat enigmatic, but a talented soul man.

Here is a version of this song I had never heard.

@edgarblythe,
You're right about Dan, edgar.

Wow. I know that song Mutual Admiration Society, but had to check out both Eddy and J.P.

Strange, I do recall Eddy doing The Cattle Call. He was great, too.

Here's another strange one that I know and don't know why I know it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ft8WLX9G1I

I suspect that we often just listen to the music and pay no attention to the performers.
