James Bond Medley - BBC Proms 2011 Last Night Celebrations in Scotland.

edgar, Enjoyed "the jester's" It Ain't Me, Babe"

Hurry back, Brit. We always enjoy what you play here. Pet Shop Boys was a good one as well as your explanation of the opening of the Olympic by us anglophiles. We do like bell ringing.

hbg, Like La Bamba and Peter Duchin's Windmills of Your Mine, of course.

Ah, Irish. Your song wouldn't play here.

Been having some problems with the equipment in our studio, so I guess that I had better hurry and do my thing.

First a birthday man.

Now, an answer to Barry's bells.

First, some info on Guy.

Guy Mitchell, born Albert George Cernik (February 27, 1927 – July 1, 1999) was an American pop singer, successful in his homeland, the U.K. and Australia. As an international recording star of the 1950s he achieved record sales in excess of 44 million units and this included six million-selling singles.

In the fall of 1957, Mitchell starred in his own ABC variety show, The Guy Mitchell Show. He also appeared as George Romack on the 1961 NBC western detective series Whispering Smith, with World War II hero Audie Murphy in the leading role.

Oops,looks like the BBC have pulled their Bond video.Here's a slightly shorter version....

Opening Ceremony - James Bond & The Queen - London 2012.

Been listening to Guy Mitchell since I was a kid. The first song I heard by him to my knowledge was about the pawnshop on the corner. I never really got to hear Pink Floyd until somebody left a copy of The Wall on VCR tape when they moved away. So I watched and listened and became convinced.

Is that the song John Lennon wrote?

Conway Twitty

Barry, Daniel Craig said that he had a helluva time keeping Queen Elizabeth II's cameo appearance a secret. Great video, London.

edgar, thanks again for your comments. I didn't know the guy from Pink Floyd's group either. It was his birthday, so I figured I would do him a tribute.

Conway Twitty's "It's So Good" was great.

Daniel Craig tribute.

All seems well now in our wee studio.

Hi Miss Letty, loved Guy Mitchell. Still unsure about Craig as James Bond, I don't think it's his fault, I think maybe the Bond thing has run it's course or at least needs to take a break.
I liked Sean Connery best as Jimmy McBond although Pierce Brosnan played a good Jimmy O' Bond too.

Yes Ed that's John Lennon's song but 'I think' Bryan Ferry did it best. Enjoyed Conway.

I am on my way to

http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/whatson/today.cfm?id=3971

starring my most beloved Dr. George

the concert after will be these two performers with the addition of Bassam Bishara on oud



it's going to be a wonderful day of classical strings

euro, Thanks for your comments and I, too, think Sean Connery was the best James Bond. Gold Finger was the first one that I saw by him. Loved your re play of ed's song, Irish.

ehBeth, Welcome back to you as well. All three of your videos reminded me of Adagio for Strings.

Another from Guy.

Have to disagree about Jealous Guy song. I like John Lennon best on it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnA87uiraos
I heard this on the ship's radio, while underway to Japan, so often I could not stand it for several years. But it's a wonderful Peter, Paul and the other guy song.

Some music from Puerto Rico.

Nice song Ed, odd one to hear on the way to battle though.

Enjoyed that last one from Guy and George was amazing, what an instrument.

Incidentally I thought the opening ceremony for the Olympics was amazing. Supyrb!

Goodies - - Saturday Night Fever

edgar, Ah, I love Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul, and Mary. Thanks again for your comment.

Marco, welcome back to you as well. Love Latino music, and that song via Puerta Rico was lovely. euro, that was one funny song. Saturday Night Grease?

Now the theme from Sean Connery's Gold Finger.

Dame Shirley was one of my Mam's favourites. My Mam had a fabulous taste in music, except for Tom Jones argh!.
I could never talk her out of liking ol'Tom, it was them damn gyrating hips that got her.

Here's a gyrating genius.

Hmm, euro. There are several Tom Joneses. Not certain which one you mean.

Jail House by Elvis reminded me of "the man in black". Never used to like country music either, but I've morphed, Irish.
