Let's see if I remember the lyrics to Andy's song:

At the close of each day,
When I'm without you,
And my heart kneels to pray,
I pray about you,

You take a star and lead it far away from heaven,
And that star would be lost,
As I'm lost without you.

Cool

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for restoring our signal, edgar. Appreciate your comment, too. When you mentioned The Hollies I thought of Buddy, so you sent me searching.

The Hollies are an English pop and rock group, formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, though most of the band members are from throughout East Lancashire.

The Air that I breathe was good, and it made me think of this one.

edgar, Thanks again for your comment, and oddly I don't know The Beatles You're a Rich Man. (nope, won't play "if I were a Rich man") Razz

Marco, Welcome back to you as well. Don't know Spanish Guitar by that great vocalist; know her best for Un Break my Heart.

hbg, I truly love Lullaby of Birdland. It's the first one that I heard by George.

Welcome back dear Brit. Teach Your Children by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young I really like. Thanks for the info from you, too. Sleep well, Barry. I'm going to cover my eyes as well.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs.

First, The Turtles. (miss you yitwail)

Now, David Bowie. (love this guy)

So great having London, Ontario, Dublin with us.

From Letty with love to the world

Kathleen Deanna Battle (born August 13, 1948), is an African-American operatic light lyric-coloratura soprano known for her agile and light voice and her silvery, pure tone.[1][2] Battle initially became known for her work within the concert repertoire through performances with major orchestras during the early and mid 1970s. She made her opera debut in 1975. Battle expanded her repertoire into lyric soprano and coloratura soprano roles during the 1980s and early 1990s. Although she no longer appears in operas, she remains active in concert and recital performances

edgar, Loved Hill Billy Fever by Jerry Lee.

hbg, Swing Low Sweet Chariot by Kathleen Battle was great. Love that song.

Do Ho's Tiny Bubbles was wonderful.

Don't know that one by Dan Fogelberg. I guess my favorite by him is Leader of the Band.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Here's one that I love by The Seekers.

good morning msletty , ed and all listeners!
today is the birthday of an old smoothie : Buddy GRECO !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zvLTwSTONs

Quote:
Buddy Greco (born August 14, 1926) is an American singer and pianist.

He was born Armando Greco in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Greco began playing piano at the age of four. His first professional work was playing with Benny Goodman's band.[1] Most of Greco's work has been in the jazz and pop genres. He has recorded songs such as "Oh Look A-There, Ain't She Pretty", "The Lady is a Tramp", and "Around the World", and has released about 72 albums and 100 singles. Greco has had an active concert career playing in symphony halls, theatres, nightclubs, and Las Vegas showrooms. In the 1960s he made appearances with the Rat Pack. Greco played the nightclub singer Lucky in the 1969 film The Girl Who Knew Too Much. In 1967, Greco starred in the summer replacement television series Away We Go with drummer Buddy Rich and comedian George Carlin.[2]

Greco has recorded albums for the Columbia/Epic and Reprise record labels, and other minor labels. His most popular albums were On Stage and Buddy's Back in Town, both with Columbia. His most successful single was "The Lady is a Tramp", which sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc.[3] Greco recorded an album entitled Movin' On which included his version of the Marvin Gaye standard "What's Going On". Greco recorded sporadically after this album, but he continued performing live shows, and has performed in most of the top nightclubs in the world. His last nationally charted record was "From Atlanta to Goodbye", on the Scepter label, which made Billboard's Easy Listening Top 40 in 1969. Greco continued to appear at his club in Cathedral City, California, until its closure in August 2009.

In 2008, Greco toured the UK with his wife Lezlie Anders. Together they performed dates with the BBC Big Band and played at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. Greco was the first Las Vegas headliner to star at a British casino when he performed in cabaret on 8 August 2008 at the Circus Casino, Star City, Birmingham.[4][5] In April 2010 he performed a live concert for BBC Radio 2 with the 42-piece BBC Concert Orchestra as a salute to Frank Sinatra. He toured the UK for over 30 dates from July 2010 with the Swinging Las Vegas Legends Show. He has produced, with his wife of 15 years, vocalist Lezlie Anders, a stage show titled 'FEVER! The Music of Miss Peggy Lee', which has met with critical acclaim, and opened in London's West End in the spring of 2010.[4]

On New Year's Eve 2011 he made a guest appearance on Jools Hollands 'Hootenanny' singing Fly Me To The Moon backed by the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

@hamburgboy,
hbg, You play the most wonderful music on WA2K radio. Not familiar with Buddy Greco, so thanks for the info, Ontario.

Fly Me to the Moon was great by that man.

Here's a birthday lady, and she is one fine actress.
