Santana - Shades of Time.

I had no idea that there was a movie about young John Lennon, Brit. I have often wondered if he had been deported he might be alive today.

Don't know Shades of Time by Santana, but it was great.

I also like Anne Murray.

Good evening. I just finished running new phone wires and a jack from the service box on the side of the house. I had lost my internet service totally.

I know the feeling of loose wires, edgar. You are indeed a Mr. Fixit.

Never heard Luther Plays the Boogie by the man in black. Barry has climbed the apples to watch The Hobbit so let's listen to another side of things.

( i sure DO NOT know the way to San Jose - but i sure like the music , the song , the singer !!! )

Welcome back, hbg. Your video wouldn't play here, but I certainly know Connie Francis song.

Here are the lyrics.


Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Someday you'll find someone you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue,
You'll know how much this heart of my is breakin'
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

You missed Dionne's Walk On By, but Heartbreaker is a great one as well.

I was thinking of Jimmy Carter today and here's a memory.

Perhaps the most controversial moment of Jimmy Carter's otherwise triumphant tour of England last month came when he spoke out passionately on behalf of a man dead for 24 years. Standing in Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey, where many of Britain's late, great literati repose, the President expressed the hope that his favorite poet, Welsh bard Dylan Thomas, might someday be memorialized there.

Well, we know Anne Murray is Canadian and so is Diana. Love Do You Know the Way to San Jose.

Saying goodnight with that fantastic performer.

Did I just see the president in the audience?

From Letty with love to the world

before taking a little break - here is Frankie Yankowich with an old german standard : The Happy Wanderer !

hbg, Spike Jones is indeed a funny guy. Love that Flamenco guitar by Carlos, as well. As a kid, I called it flamingo. (the bird)

Another Canadian from whom I learned quite a bit. He is right on so many things that constitute life and and the effect of the media.

Leslie Uggams

edgar, thanks again for your comment. When supervising teachers appeared in my classroom, I always used Marshall McLuhan as my subject of the day. They knew nothing of him.

Love Leslie's Christmas in New York. Great voice!

Here's Nat doing a Mel Torme cover.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhzxQCTCI3E

Nat's is I think the definitive version of the Christmas Song, the way Bing's is of White Christmas.

Dolly

Yep, there are lots of versions of different Christmas Songs, edgar. Thanks for the comment.

This one is for you.
