hbg, loved Day is Done; Who Stole the Kishka, and The Beer Barrell Polka.

Barry, Amazing about that Klingon Wedding. Love it!

Bend Me Shape Me by the Amen Corner also fantastic.

Not feeling too well tonight, so I'm going to sign off with two songs.

I did this one by Jimmie Rodgers before, but here's the original man.

Didn't used to like Rod, but I have now changed my mind.

Good to have London and Ontario with us, and as usual

From Letty with love to everyone

edgar, Loved that one by Heather Headley. Ain't it Funny sometimes ain't so funny. Didn't know the lady, so once again thanks for the introduction.

Hurry back, Barry. Didn't know that one by "the fab four", but I'm Only Sleeping was good. I always thought they got their name after Buddy Holly's Crickets.

Two songs for Saturday here, yawl.

First, one of my favorite performers who broke all the rules.

Al Jolson.

Now, a birthday man, so first some info.

Sir Christopher Michael Wren FRS (20 October 1632 – 25 February 1723) is one of the most highly acclaimed English architects in history.[1] He was accorded responsibility for rebuilding 52 churches in the City of London after the Great Fire in 1666, including his masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral, on Ludgate Hill, completed in 1710. The principal creative responsibility for a number of the churches is now more commonly attributed to others in his office, especially Nicholas Hawksmoor. Other notable buildings by Wren include the Royal Naval College in Greenwich and the south front of Hampton Court Palace.

Now a song recorded by the Menlo Park man, with a tour.

Clair de Lune is always lovely.

Thomas Edison was an interesting fellow, beyond his inventions. Always admired him.

@edgarblythe,
You sent me searching again, edgar.

Joan Sebastian (pronounced: [xoˈan seβaˈstjan]) (born in Juliantla, Guerrero, on April 8, 1951) is a popular Mexican singer and songwriter. He has composed hundreds of songs and been a regular staple on the top-40 charts in Mexico since his career began in 1977. His music is a mixture of Latin pop, ranchera and grupera music. His success is not only found in music but also in his short acting career when he became the main protagonist of a Mexican soap opera. In 1996 he made his acting debut in the Mexican soap opera Tú y Yo (You and I) sharing credits with Maribel Guardia (his former wife and mother to one of his sons) the soap opera became an instant televised hit.

He was good. I liked Thomas Edison too until he ruined Nikola Tesla.

Another birthday guy.

Welcome hack, Brit. Fantastic that we happened to discover your home town. Bill Withers says it right.

edgar, David and Shelly's The Reason God Made Oklahoma was one that I didn't know, but truly enjoyed.

Here's a "wonder" man singing about sunshine, too.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for the comment, edgar. Love I Heard the Bluebirds Sung by The Browns. They also did The Three Bells.

Here's a birthday legend. The last movie that he starred in was Ed Wood starring Johnny Depp.

Incidentally, his first name is pronounced Bala.

@edgarblythe,
I guess he was young at one time or another, edgar.

Don't know Please Don't go by the Butterfield Band, but I enjoyed it, Texas. Here's The Mills Brothers with an answer.

@edgarblythe,
The Mills Brothers never fail to amaze me, edgar. My mom loved them.

Don't know Joe Jones' You Talk Too Much, but it was perfect. I always say too much, methinks.

I guess all that talking could leave us breathless.

Here are The Corrs singing about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JsOxu4Ks30&feature=related

Now, the lyrics.

Go on, go on
Leave me breathless
Come on

The daylight's fading slowly
The time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak

I cannot lie
From you I can not hide
I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it
Can't fight it

So go on, go on
Come on leave me breathles

let's not forget that today is " Jelly Roll " Morton's birthday .
here he is with the " Red Hot Peppers " playing the " Blackbottom Stomp " :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVUyvwtHTnw&feature=related

Quote:
Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe (October 20, 1890 – July 10, 1941),[1] known professionally as Jelly Roll Morton, was an American ragtime and early jazz pianist, bandleader and composer.

Widely recognized as a pivotal figure in early jazz, Morton is perhaps most notable as jazz's first arranger, proving that a genre rooted in improvisation could retain its essential spirit and characteristics when notated.[2] His composition "Jelly Roll Blues" was the first published jazz composition, in 1915. Morton is also notable for naming and popularizing the "Spanish tinge" (habanera rhythm and tresillo), and for penning such standards as "Wolverine Blues", "Black Bottom Stomp", and "I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say", the latter a tribute to New Orleans personalities from the turn of the 19th century to 20th century.
