Pink Martini- Tea For Two.
(Earl Grey,no milk and 2 sugars please)

Don't know the artist, Barry, but I most certainly know the song. Pink Martini does a great job. Yes, Marvin was too talented, it seems.

Here's one by Creedence that was originally done by Hank Williams. Poor guy, another talented "poet" with a song gone too soon.

I do believe that is Jamacian food.

Good musics people. Jambalaya is one I like by about a dozen artists.

Al Stewart

Thanks again for your comment, edgar.

Wow! I love The Year of the Cat by Al. Especially like the minor key. Had to do another search.

Al Stewart (born Alastair Ian Stewart, 5 September 1945) is a Scottish singer-songwriter and folk-rock musician.

Stewart came to stardom as part of the British folk revival in the 1960s and 1970s, and developed his own unique style of combining folk-rock songs with delicately woven tales of the great characters and events from history.

He is best known for his 1976 hit single "Year of the Cat", the title song from the platinum album of the same name.

Here's another Cat before he became Yusuf.

Ah, okay!

[slaps forehead!]

Now I get it!

Cat has a good way with songs.
So do Jeff Floyd

Beth Orton - This One's Gonna Bruise.

Do you even know what goes on in a heart anymore?
Constellations turned into little polaroids in a cardboard box
And I wanted so desperately to prove
You were still breathing
But you wouldn't move

Okay
Okay
What a thing to choose
This one's gonna bruise

You'll learn one day, won't you?
What you want's bad for the souls
Lost out in the rain
Afraid of the dark
Still in pain
Still in pain

Did you even notice how the wind
Didn't change that much?
Fluctuations on these sheets
That you moved to be sure it was us
And I wanted so desperately to say
That you could trust me, but I was lying anyway

Okay
Okay
What a thing to lose
Left out in the rain
Misused

You'll learn one day, won't you?
You'll learn some day, won't you?

What you had
Was good for a while
Then it changed
Got too intense
And that is strange

And I feel bad for you
I feel bad for you
And I don't know why
I don't know why
'Cause I'm as dead as you

Well, edgar, you and our Brit sent me searching once again.

Jacksonville, FL, native Jeff Floyd (born October 1965) is a throwback Southern soul singer who conjures up images and the aural extremities of the genre's best purveyors, notably Otis Clay and Bobby Womack.

and, Barry, I found this as well.

Beth Orton is a BRIT Award–winning English singer-songwriter, known for her 'folktronica' sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica.

Love on a Lonely Highway was great as was Beth's This One's Gonna Bruise. Hmmm, Did I hear a cello in there?

Good one by Donovan, to. Not Judy, Judy, Judy, but Donna, Donna, Donna.

Ah, The Highwaymen.

er, Brit, I love your photo and Jo Jo Gunne's Run Run Run, but in order to make an A on your pop quiz, which picture are you asking about?

In the meantime here's a good one to go with your London Olympics.

Another Highwayman song. I do know that one, edgar.

Okay, I'm going to play one here from a friend of mine - Brent Ellis (playing the blue guitar).

Brent and I worked at the same place for many years. I'm retired; he's still there.

Anyways, here's Amazon Funk. Him and his group are very talented.

Reyn, it is so nice to have you with us on our radio. Love Brent Ellis' Amazon Funk.

Still waiting for our Brit to tell us the answer to the pop quiz.

Thanks, Letty.

If I may, here's Hands of Time by Brent and group as well:

Reyn, That one by Brent was fantastic. Smooth and jazz oriented. Thanks for the introduction, my friend.

Well, it seems that the photo of Barry's medal man was out of kilter.

Speaking of Jo Jo, Here's Billy Preston, the fifth Beatle with other folks.
