Good morning, peoples. It's a beautiful day ahead, for Tomball. Rain passed lightly through last night, but today will be clear and cool. Perfect outside weather.
Here is an interesting video, made with the autistic in mind

Thank you, hbg. I love Puccini. Don't know Lucia Popp, but you are right. Her voice is velvety. A Night in Venice was lovely as was If You Love Me....

McTag, Blue Bayou is one of my favorites by Roy.

O Solo Mio.

and, the lyrics.

Love is a flower that blooms so tender
Each kiss a dew drop of sweet surrender
Love is a moment of life enchanting
Let's take that moment
That tonight is granting

There's no tomorrow when love is new
Now is forever when love is true
So kiss me and hold me tight
There's no tomorrow
There's just tonight

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time"

The Bard

g'mornin' miss letty betty*




* actually it's still dark. morning is an hour or so off...

Welcome back to you as well, Rock. You know how I love that song. It's a wee bit early for me to get up and dance. Perhaps I had better ask "..Sylvia's Mother.."

Chas and Dave, cockney quirky rockers, strangely sounding a bit like German oompah music, with "London Girls".
I like them.

And in good company with Eric Clapton and Albert Lee

Thanks for restoring our signal, McTag. I had no idea about Chas and Dave. It was simply serendipity.

Love that one by Eric Clapton and Albert Lee. Never heard Slow Down Linda, but it was a great one.

A bit of news about Chas and Dave.



CHERISHED Cockney rockers CHAS AND DAVE are going their separate ways following the tragic death of bass player Dave’s wife,.

Sue Peacock, Dave’s wife of 36 years, died of lung cancer in July this year despite being a lifelong non-smoker.

Her heartbroken husband has since decided to call time on his career.

Today is this fantastic vocalist birthday. Bud loved her because she had no vibrato.

Neil Sedaka - Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do.

Welcome back, my cockney friend. Thanks for your comments. Breaking Up is Hard to Do was a goodie, but my favorite one by him is The Immigrant.

Jo Stafford and Neil Sedaka both made a number of records I love, including the ones played here today.

I can tell by the look in your eyes that you've probably been crying forever.



Hi Miss Letty, here's Rod and Amy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RkWs6P2IwE

Hey, McTag. Heard that Ukelele Version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. funny.

euro, Welcome back. Love Rod's tears as well as the song I Don't Want to Talk About it.

Another crying song by Roy.

Synchronicity

Godley and Creme. -- Cry.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtPRF6NG7I

Nighty night.

Goodnight, dear euro. Sleep well and hurry back.

you did send me searching, however.

Godley & Creme were an English rock duo composed of Kevin Godley and Lol Creme. The pair began releasing albums as a duo after splitting from the pop band 10cc. In 1979 they directed their first music video for their own single "An Englishman in New York". After this, they became involved in directing videos for such artists as Ultravox, The Police, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Wang Chung, as well as directing the ground-breaking promo for their own "Cry" in 1985. The duo split at the end of the 1980s and have both been involved in music videos, TV commercials, and sporadic music projects since.

Can't believe that "the king" did this one.
