Where is our world, edgar? Didn't know Baby's in Black by the Fab Four. A good one. Well, at least Texas and Florida are still hanging in.

Today is Fess Parker's birthday. What a great performer of the old west.

I loved Fess Parker as Davy and also in the film The Great Locomotive Chase.

Jan and Dean

Thanks for the comment, edgar. I recall Jan and Dean, but just to refresh our memory, a bit of info on the two.

Jan and Dean were a rock and roll duo, popular from the late 1950s through the mid 1960s, consisting of Jan Berry and Dean Torrence. They were pioneers of the vocal "surf music" craze that was popularized by The Beach Boys. Among their most successful songs was "Surf City" , which topped both the Billboard and Cashbox music charts in June 1963; "Drag City", which was a No. 10 hit on both the Billboard and Cashbox charts in 1963; and their song "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena", which peaked at No. 3. "Dead Man's Curve", which reached No. 8 on the Billboard charts in 1964, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008

Dead Man's Curve was a good one.

Here's another birthday guy.

Everything But The Girl - The Only Living Boy In New York.
written by Tom and Jerry .

edgar, I love that "Find a Wheel" by Mr. laid back Como". What a talent!

Barry, Welcome back. Don't know Everything But the Girl, so once again you sent me searching.

Everything but the Girl (often shortened EBTG) was a two-person English band, formed in Hull during 1982, consisting of lead singer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, and singer Ben Watt. The duo's most successful single was a Todd Terry remix of "Missing" charting in several countries in 1994.

Tom and Jerry? Funny, Brit. Thanks for the introduction by that wonderful duet.

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

First a surprise by "the king" He was on TCM .

Now a beautiful Polynesian song.

From Letty with love and hope that Ontario and Dublin will be back tomorrow on WA2K radio.

G'night Ms PD....

You and Barry both hurry back.

Today is Robert De Niro's birthday, so here is a tribute to the man.

I like him best in The Deer Hunter and The Untouchables as Al Capone.

I recall him listening to Enrico Caruso with tears in his eyes.

More synchronicity. O Solo Mio. We already know the English lyrics to this one

Walls Cornetto Ad.

Just one Cornetto,
give it to me,
delicious ice-cream, of Italy,
creamy vanilla and choco dream,
Give me a Cornetto,
from Wall's ice cream.

and from the summer of 1969 (when I was 18)....

Peter Sarstedt - Frozen Orange Juice.

Couldn't get your second song to play here, Brit, but I loved those drum sticks. Buy them all the time. What a clever ad to a marvelous classical song.

Speaking of drum sticks, here is a beautiful native American song replete with drums.

Good afternoon. Here is a Leonard Cohen song from his 1968 album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iels3GLw-zs
I like the Indian music and Solo Mio.

Welcome back, edgar. Ah, the mysterious Leonard. Wonder what he means by One of Us Cannot Be Wrong. Thanks again for your comment, Texas.

Perhaps we had better warm up Mr. Cohen with another drum.

Love this one:

I like the music of Flower Drum song, letty.
Here is one of my favorite Pat Boone songs

Happy birthday to Davy

Loved Pat Boone's Thee I Love, edgar. Perfect intonation.

Had no idea that Davy could play violin. Yep, The Alamo. We'll always remember that one, Texas.

Here's another birthday lady, and she'll always be remembered for "...or are you just glad to see me...."

Two old friends saying goodbye -

Shuttles Come Nose-to-Nose

NASA's space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis switched locations today at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and in the process came "nose-to-nose" for the last time in front of Orbiter Processing Facility 3.

Endeavour was moved from Orbiter Processing Facility 2 to the Vehicle Assembly Building where it will be housed temporarily until its targeted departure from Kennedy atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft in mid-September. After a stop at the Los Angeles International Airport, Endeavour will move in mid-October to the California Science Center for permanent public display.

Now in the processing facility after leaving the Vehicle Assembly Building, shuttle Atlantis will undergo preparations for its move to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in November, with a grand opening planned for July 2013....


Back to the music....
