@hamburgboy,

hbg, don't you think your Oscar should get an oscar. Razz

Love Canadian Sunset, of course.

Here's another Osca, Ontario.

and the lyrics to the first part.

Tonight we love while the moon
Beams down in dream light tonight
We touch the stars
Love is ours
Night winds that sigh
Embrace the sky
Tonight we love in the glow
That glows so softly I know
This wasn't meant to borrow but tomorrow
Will it be gone
Or will it always live on
Tonight

Thanks for restoring our signal

Tonight we love

Canadian Sunset and MacArthur Park are favorites of mine.
I like Tchaikovsky too.

edgar, when I first heard that song, I shivered thinking that I was under that floor. Had no idea that Brook did it.

hbg, John Williams doing the theme to Schindler's List was great.

How about some more walking, y'all

@edgarblythe,

don't know that one by LeRoy, edgar. Thanks for responding. Missed your contribution, hbg. Will acknowledge tomorrow

Thinking about the problems with my right eye, I decided to play this one as a goodnight song.

As always, in spite of troubles, from Letty with love.

hbg, I love Corina Corina by that Dutch band as well as Carol's version of You Light up Mife.

edgar, Had no idea that Bobby did I'm Beginning to See the Light. I knew it best by Ella and sang it in the fifth grade. Loved Della Rees doing Don't You Know.

Here's more synchronicity because today is her birthday and we'll dedicate this one to edgar.

I loved Anne Blyth before I knew anything about her. When I was a kid. Mother's Cookies issued trading cards of movie stars - one to a package. I was taken with her face and name and her card became my favorite. Next to hers I admired Robert Newton's card.
