edgar, once again thanks for your comment. Johnny Yuma was the very first song that I heard by "the man in black". I recall Bud saying that he had enough vibrata to drive a truck through. Hurry back, too, dear friend.

Barry, Don't know The Floacist Soul, but she's much better than rock and roll. Razz Thanks for the info on Dave.

Cyracuz, dear, welcome back
They're probably huddling in a pack,
Somewhere away from ice and snow
With their small puppies, don't ya know. Razz

Thinking of Andrea this early morn, and he's singing a song from this movie.

The film is set during the Jesuit Reductions, a program by which Jesuit missionaries set up missions independent of the Spanish state to teach Christianity to the natives. It tells the story of a Spanish Jesuit priest, Father Gabriel (Jeremy Irons), who enters the South American jungle to build a mission and convert a community of Guaraní Indians to Christianity.

At the beginning of the movie, a Jesuit missionary is lashed to a cross by the Guarani Indians who live above the spectacular Iguazu Falls. The missionary is then sent over the falls, cross and all, while praying fervently to God. His martyrdom inspires the gentle Father Gabriel to scale the hazardous falls and try to reach out to the tribe. Initially, the Guarani warriors prepare to kill him, but after Gabriel plays an unforgettable solo on his oboe, they allow him to live and he gradually wins their trust.

And to continue with John Coltrane. Old Blue Eyes.

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for restoring our signal, edgar. Your comments are always appreciated.

Well, how about two songs for the late afternoon here in our Florida studio. First, one to match your Fats, Texas.

Now a dirty band with a catfish.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GfYV3db0aM&feature=endscreen&NR=1

My friends all called me catfish when I got speared by one while taking it off the hook. Took two years for that thing to emerge. It was bleached white and had serrated edges.

Met a lovely lady today as I was out shopping. I asked what her ethnicity was and she said Aztec/Mexican. We ended up exchanging hugs. Love when that happens.

Welcome back, Barry. Shaved Like a Razor by Jonny Corndawg was funny.

Remember Barbara Mandrell singing I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool ?

Beautiful Christmas Tree and Peggy Lee and Benny Goodman doing Winter Weather was great.

Going to say goodnight with two songs. First some info on a birthday man.

Ira Gershwin wrote the words after his brother's death, giving the song a special poignancy. Originally titled "It's Here to Stay" and then "Our Love Is Here to Stay",

Now, Nat.

and since many of our listeners and contributors missed this one.

Great to see London back with us. Did I miss Ontario?

From letty with love to everyone

now back to musical birthdays .
it's the birthday of Pietro Mascagni :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OvsVSWB4TI

Quote:
Pietro Antonio Stefano Mascagni (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpjɛːtro anˈtɔːnjo ˈsteːfano masˈkaɲɲi]; December 7, 1863 – August 2, 1945) was an Italian composer most noted for his operas. His 1890 masterpiece Cavalleria rusticana caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and single-handedly ushered in the Verismo movement in Italian dramatic music. Some critics held that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, but in Europe, L'amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres. Mascagni said that at one point, Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria

one more musical birthday before taking a station break :
it's the birthday of Rudolf Friml .

Grace Moore sings " Rosemarie " by Friml :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5y7VRvwfck

Quote:
Rudolf Friml (December 7, 1879 – November 12, 1972) was a composer of operettas, musicals, songs and piano pieces, as well as a pianist. After musical training and a brief performing career in his native Prague, Friml moved to the United States, where he became a composer. His best-known works are Rose-Marie and The Vagabond King, each of which enjoyed success on Broadway and in London and were adapted for film.
.....................................................................................
Friml wrote his most famous operettas in the 1920s. In 1924, he wrote Rose-Marie. This operetta, on which Friml collaborated with lyricists Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto Harbach and co-composer Herbert Stothart, was a hit worldwide, and a few of the songs from it also became hits including "The Mounties" and "Indian Love Call". The use of murder as part of the plot was ground-breaking among operettas and musical theatre pieces at the time.

After Rose-Marie's success came two other hit operettas, The Vagabond King in 1925, with lyrics by Brian Hooker and W.H. Post, and The Three Musketeers in 1928, with lyrics by P.G. Wodehouse and Clifford Grey, based on Dumas's famous swashbuckling novel. In addition, Friml contributed to Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies of 1921 and 1923.
