@Barry The Mod,
Great one by Cynthia Holiday. Don't know her, but she was good with Les Paul.

edgar, Louis Jordan's Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens is one I do know. Love it.

Barry's Cynthia reminded me of Lady Day.

Odd, 'cause when I did Sachmo's song, he introduced Trummy Young. Bud told me that she and Trummy suitcased from a hotel, meaning they left without paying.

Where did edgar go? Razz

Barry, Thanks for your comments and you hurry back. Loved Margie; Amapola, and Billy Cotton.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I'm going to do so with Diana Krall who does a cover of Billie Holiday.

Don't know where the rest of the world is, but we're calling them to join us.

From Letty with love to all of you

edgar, Your goodnight song by Dr. Doolittle singing about his doctor friend was a good one. Didn't know your morning song by Tina, however. Hurry back.

hbg, Welcome back, and you play what you want to here, my friend.

Fantastic choir music, and Take the Hours the Way They Come is a great way to express life.

My favorite was by Hansi. What a fabulous vocalist and the visuals were so beautiful. I used to live in the mountains, and I love them, too.

Barry played a song by this guy, and I went searching again.

The Billy Cotton Band Show was a popular Sunday lunchtime radio programme on the BBC Light Programme from 1949 to 1968.

The band leader, Billy Cotton, was a larger-than-life Cockney character who started each show with the cry “Wakey-Wake-aaaay!”, followed by the band’s signature tune “Somebody Stole My Gal” (which was also featured in the video game Pop'n Music 9).

The show transferred to BBC Television in 1956, usually on Saturday evenings at 7.00 pm. It ran, under various names, until 1965.

Regular entertainers included Alan Breeze, Kathie Kay, Doreen Stephens and the pianist Russ Conway. Pianist Mrs Mills made her first television appearance on the show.

Terry Jones and Michael Palin, both later to become members of Monty Python's Flying Circus, wrote jokes for the show.

Here's one I love by the guy.

Invited Ursula and her Swede to join us; hope they will.

Don't know how that bit of Irish music got into his song. Maybe it will lure euro back. (just hope he is alrigght)

just reading a book about all those " merrymakers " at the BBC in the 50's and 60's :
" inside the house of fun with milligan , sykes , galton and simpson "
by Graham McCann , included are Peter Sellers . Michael Bentine ,
Harry Secombe and many others - later to appear in " The Goon shows " .

on sunday mornings we would often listen to a re-broadcast on CBC radio .

here is a short piece of one of their crazy shows - introducing a new german opera .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-IU-NQ8c14

btw. their show " 'till death do us part " , eventually became " all in the family " .

Quote:
Till Death Us Do Part is a British television sitcom that aired on BBC1 from 1965 to 1968, in 1970, and from 1972 to 1975. First airing as a Comedy Playhouse pilot, the show aired in seven series until 1975. Six years later, ITV continued the sitcom, calling it Till Death.... From 1985 to 1992, the BBC produced a sequel In Sickness and in Health.

Created by Johnny Speight, Till Death Us Do Part centred on the East End Garnett family, led by patriarch Alf Garnett (Warren Mitchell), a reactionary white working-class man who holds racist and anti-socialist views. His gentle and long-suffering wife Else was played by Dandy Nichols, and his daughter Rita by Una Stubbs. Rita's bright but layabout husband Mike Rawlins (Antony Booth) is a socialist. The character Alf Garnett became a well known character in British culture, and Mitchell played him on stage and television up until 1998, when Speight died.

In addition to the spin-off In Sickness and in Health, Till Death Us Do Part was re-made in many countries including Brazil, Germany (Ein Herz und eine Seele) and the United States (All in the Family).

Many episodes from the first three series are thought to no longer exist, having been wiped in the late 1960s and early '70s as was the policy at the time.

and here are " The Corries " with the " October Song " - lovely music !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLpPLqW3Nos

The Corries were a Scottish folk group that emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group was a trio in the early days, it was as the partnership of Roy Williamson and Ronnie Browne that it is best known.

@hamburgboy,
hbg, All of your music was excellent. The Fresh Fruit song and The Goons gave us all a smile. Love The Corries' music, especially the flute. (I think it was a type of flute). Maybe that Scottish group will lure McTag back with us. We also appreciate your information as well.

Today is John Lithgow's birthday, and here is a funny song by him, replete with puns.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for restoring our signal, edgar. I remember Third Rock from The Sun as well.

Oh my goodness, Sinead just sang the Betty Boop song. Love it.

Here's another birthday man, but first some information.

Rodney Scott Carrington (born October 19, 1968, in Longview, Texas) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and country music artist. He has released six major-label studio albums and a greatest-hits package, on Mercury Records and Capitol Records. His comedy act typically combines stand-up comedy and original songs. Carrington has also starred in the sitcom Rodney and in the 2008 film Beer for My Horses.

Not certain who he's singing this one for, but it's rather sad.
