@edgarblythe,
Don't know I'm Looking Through You by the fab four, edgar. It was different. Thanks again for your comment.

Inspired by the tsar, I love this one by "gentleman Jim"

I like Rod Stewart's early music, but when he switched to old standards I lost interest.

@edgarblythe,
good night / good morning to all !

today is the birthday of Etta James - a great singer - unfortunately hooked on drugs - badly !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pu_AdU_NQg

Quote:
Etta James (born Jamesetta Hawkins; January 25, 1938 – January 20, 2012) was an American singer. Her style spanned a variety of music genres including blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul, gospel and jazz. Starting her career in 1954, she gained fame with hits such as "Roll With Me, Henry", "At Last", "Tell Mama", "Something's Got a Hold on Me", and "I'd Rather Go Blind" for which she wrote the lyrics.[1] She faced a number of personal problems, including drug addiction, before making a musical resurgence in the late 1980s with the album The Seven Year Itch.[2]

James is regarded as having bridged the gap between rhythm and blues and rock and roll, and is the winner of six Grammys and 17 Blues Music Awards. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001, and the Grammy Hall of Fame in both 1999 and 2008.[3] Rolling Stone ranked James number 22 on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and number 62 on the list of the 100 Greatest Artists.[

Welcome back, hbg, and hurry back edgar.

I had no idea that Etta was a drug addict, Ontario.

edgar, Loved the anime of Sheherazade. Frankie's Caledonia was new to me as well.

Wow! had no idea that Bobby did an instrumental on piano. Beach Comber was great, Texas.

awakened this morning thinking of this song.

and, a birthday guy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa1mwmxBMUw

English lyrics:

Quiet nights 'n quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts 'n quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together

We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away . . . from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew,
Became these quiet nights of loving you!

@edgarblythe,
Thanks for keeping us on the air, edgar, and your comments. As you know, I love Marty Robbins. Don't know Jolie Girl by him, however. Thanks for the introduction. (rather reminds me of Jolie Blon)

Another famous birthday man. Robert Burns.

@edgarblythe,
Great one by Joan Baez, edgar. The Walls of Redwing is one I don't know. That too reminds me of another old song. "oh the moon shines tonight on pretty Redwing". More later about that one, Texas.

And, "the boss" sings about Jole.

Latin George, Welcome back, like edgar said I don't know that one by Jack White. but thanks for the introduction. Elvis' All Shook up I do know.

edgar, That was a great but sad one by Patti Page. Such a night by "the king" was great, too.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs from so long ago.

First, Chet Adkins and friends.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oXHo4ynHxk

now the lyrics

There once was an Indian maid,
A shy little prairie maid,
Who sang a lay, a love song gay,
As on the plain she'd while away the day;

She loved a warrior bold,
This shy little maid of old,
But brave and gay, he rode one day
To battle far away.

Now, the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing
The breeze is sighing, the night bird's crying,
For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away.

She watched for him day and night,
She kept all the campfires bright,
And under the sky, each night she would lie,
And dream about his coming by and by;

But when all the braves returned,
The heart of Red Wing yearned,
For far, far away, her warrior gay,
Fell bravely in the fray.

Now, the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing
The breeze is sighing, the night bird's crying,
For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away.

They got that idea from Schumman's Happy Farmer.

Glad to have our Latin friend with us today and, of course, Ontario

From Letty with love to everyone near and far as our Izzie would say.
