@eurocelticyankee,
euro, Thanks for restoring our signal. Just a reminder to our listeners.

Perry Blake is an Irish singer and songwriter from Sligo, known for the delicate, downtempo, melancholic style of his songs and his soft singing voice.

Just An Ordinary Day was excellent. I love that painting as well, Irish. Just that you've recovered from your hectic weekend, buddy and it's a painting.

I think many of us missed this one by Nat, and I'm not certain which Avalon he's referring to. Maybe this one.

Avalon (probably from the Welsh word afal, meaning apple) is a legendary island featured in the Arthurian legend. It first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 1136 pseudohistorical account Historia Regum Britanniae ("The History of the Kings of Britain") as the place where King Arthur's sword Excalibur (Caliburnus) was forged and later where Arthur was taken to recover from his wounds after the Battle of Camlann. Avalon was associated from an early date with mystical practices and people such as Morgan le Fay.

I like to think it is, yawl. Now Nat.

What a surprise to find that Al Jolson did that one as well.

Nat did When I Fall in Love as well. Great instrumental by Ben.

@eurocelticyankee,
Marvelous, euro. Donald Fagen's Walk Between Raindrops in Miami reminded me of this one. It's a Jewish version and once again reminds me of Al Jolson who was also Jewish but broke all the rules.

@eurocelticyankee,
Thanks again for the comment, euro.

Ah, "the jester" and his harmonica. Don't know It's All Over Now Baby Blue, but I'm assuming it's about sailors.

Another birthday guy.

@eurocelticyankee,
Wonder where everyone is, euro? Thanks again for your comment. Love that Tactless Questions by Vyvienne Long. What a voice has she.

Here's one for you, my Irish friend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QZiFmOe4Mo

and, the lyrics.

Lyrics

Chorus
Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh, the ring of the piper's tune
Oh, for one of those hours of gladness
Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon!

When the boys began to gather
In the glen of a summer's night
And the Kerry piper's tuning
Made us long with wild delight!
Oh, to think of it
Oh, to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears!

Chorus

Was there ever a sweeter Colleen
In the dance than Eily More
Or a prouder lad than Thady
As he boldly took the floor.

Lads and lasses to your places
Up the middle and down again
Ah, the merry hearted laughter
Ringing through the happy glen!
Oh, to think of it
Oh, to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears!

Etc.

@eurocelticyankee,
Thanks again for your comment, euro, and you sent me searching again.

Natacha Atlas (Arabic: نتاشا أطلس‎ ; born 20 March 1964) is a Belgian singer known for her fusion of Arabic and Western electronic music, particularly hip-hop. She once termed her music "cha'abi moderne" (modern popular music). Her music has been influenced by many styles including Arabic, hip hop, drum 'n' bass and reggae.

Fantastic voice; marvelous lady. Thanks for the introduction.

Well, Irish, I did understand Bossanova, so here is one to match.

We'll dedicate this one to our edgar. Razz

Hope our cockney Brit is alright

@jcboy,
Morgan, Welcome back. You sent me searching once again.

"Gangnam Style" (Korean: 강남스타일, IPA: [kaŋnam sɯtʰail]) is a 2012 Korean pop single by the South Korean rapper PSY. It is widely praised for its humor, catchy rhythm as well as PSY's unusual dance moves. The song was released on July 15, 2012, when it debuted at number one on the Gaon Chart. The music video has been viewed over 221 million times as of September 19, 2012, making it YouTube's most watched K-Pop video.

Sorry if the info was repetitive since you provided some info, too.

I love oriental music and that guy doing his dancing bit was terrific.

How about some Korean meditation music.

@eurocelticyankee,
Thanks again for your comments, euro.

Love that one by The Gipsy Kings, Irish, and here are the English lyrics.

Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.

Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up in the clouds,away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find

Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings, your love has given me wings

How about a bit of Jethro Tull now.
