hbg, Thanks for your personal acknowledge. I love Kurt Weill and he was the husband of Lotty Lenya. Ella's version was good, too.

edgar, Art and Dolly's Song of Love was good, too.
Also enjoyed Jerry's version of that wonderful song by Ray Charles.

Really liked Ricky and Glen doing Louisiana Man. The state song of Texas, was a goodie as well.

ehBeth, didn't know Black Fly so thanks for the introduction.

Sorry for being a bit late in arriving at our studio. Where's Smokey the bear when you need him.

100 acres of forest fires swept over our road while coming home.

Going to say goodnight with two songs.

First The Brothers Four.

Welcome back, edgar, and thanks for your comments.

Don't know that song by Lesley. I remember her best for "It's My Party"..etc.

Today is this guy's birthday, but first some info.

Red River Shore

Odd, edgar, Ronan was singing one of The Carpenters' songs.

Red River Shore was great by The Kingston Trio and that brought back a memory of Marty Robbins.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dESuBNiE3WM

Marty's song is one I love by many artists. John Ford put it in lots of his movies.
