@hamburgboy,
Thanks for restoring our signal, hbg. As Setanta would say, Those two songs are a blast from the past. Love both Ramona and Carmen.

Inspired by Ramona, here are The Ramones.

and some info on the group

The Ramones were an American rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. They are often cited as the first punk rock group.

@hamburgboy,
Don't know that one by Grothe, hbg, but I sure know this one. I thought that Bing Crosby's sons had done it, however.

Goodnight, dear euro. I love Imagine by John Lennon. It reminds me that the final frontier is the imagination of the human mind.

Barry, Walking After Midnight is one of my favorites by Patsy Cline.

Going to say goodnight with two song.

First The Lettermen. Notice how they climb the scale one note at a time, then the same back down.

Now, The Ames Brothers doing a moonlight cocktail.

So wonderful to have Ireland, Ontario, and London with us today.

From Letty with love and a sense of well being

Ray Davies Postcard From London Featuring Kate Nash.

I found a postcard the other day
A faded photograph taken of a cold winterscape

And all the children that gathered round
Asked what the place was on the faded card that I had found

It was a city I used to know
And as a child when it was Christmas
I played in the winter snow

It was the homeland I left behind
A better future waiting in the new world that we hoped to find

Across the oceans far south we came
And left the country that somehow we knew we'd never see again

And read the message that you wrote
On the reverse of that same postcard always seemed to give me hope

Though time will pass us and fade from view
I hope sometimes you think of me because I'll always think of you

And to the children who gathered round
I said 'This is the place of long ago we all called London Town'

Postcard from London's romantic views
Only serve to keep reminding me of how much I missed you

Postcard from London
Postcard from London Town

Postcard from London Town

We built a snowman by Hampstead Pond
Walked down to Waterloo at Yuletide and we sang so many songs

Later you went there not to return
I took for granted love we had now I will always yearn
For the great city we used to know
We were so innocent back then when we played in the winter snow

And now the children who gather round
Ask where the place is in the postcard
I say proudly 'It was London Town'

Good morning from Florida here in our little studio.

edgar, Loved your goodnight song Swing Low Sweet Chariot by the Jordanaires, you hurry back, Texas.

hbg, I know Hard Hearted Hannah, the Vamp of Savannah, just not the performer Dot. Thanks for the introduction.

Welcome back, Barry. Postcards from London by you and Kate was great. Razz

First our poem for today by a birthday guy who was a doctor as well as a poet.

A Sort of a Song

Let the snake wait under
his weed
and the writing
be of words, slow and quick, sharp
to strike, quiet to wait,
sleepless.
-- through metaphor to reconcile
the people and the stones.
Compose. (No ideas
but in things) Invent!
Saxifrage is my flower that splits
the rocks.

William Carlos Williams

Now, a new face and voice on the horizon, but first some info.

Yanni is a Greek self-taught pianist, keyboardist, composer, and music producer who has spent his adult life in the United States.

@eurocelticyankee,
Ah, euro, Thanks for restoring out signal. Hmmm, I need to check out that man's hair again, I guess. Thanks for your comment.

You're right about Leonard. Closing Time was fantastic. I love the hat the man wears.

Remember Frankie Avalon? Today is his birthday, so we'll do a great one by the man. Venus.
