good afternoon msletty , ed and all other listeners to WA2K Radio !
...............................................................................................................
my computer refused to co-operate this morning .

seems to be fine now .

so here are birthday greetings for Arthur Fiedler .

his father was an Austrian born violinist - or " fiddler = fiedler " .

Quote:
Arthur Fiedler (December 17, 1894 – July 10, 1979)[1] was a long-time conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra, a symphony orchestra that specializes in popular and light classical music. With a combination of musicianship and showmanship, he made the Boston Pops one of the best-known orchestras in the country. Some people criticized him for over-popularizing music, particularly when adapting popular songs or edited portions of the classical repertoire, but Fiedler kept performances informal and sometimes self-mocking to attract more customers.

Didn't know cold play. Herb Alpert always made good music as long as he didn't sing too much.

@edgarblythe,
edgar, I had to sign in to listen to Jimmie Rodgers White Christmas. Wonder why?

Here's one of my mom's favorites Christmas songs replete with lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTvZdDQpK4g

The bells of St. Mary's,
Ah! here they are calling,
The young loves, and the true loves,
That come from the sea ...

And so my beloved,
When The red leaves are falling,
The love bells shall ring out, yes ring out,
For you, yes you and me!

No red leaves here, however

youtube is becoming more complex. I prefer the original version, but they will keep "improving" it anyway.
Bells of St Marys is a really good song.

hbg, If I failed to mention Ella singing I've Got the World on a String, it was excellent.

edgar, Love Johnny Mathis doing that one.

The Four Freshmen. Their chord changes, phrasing, and intonation are excellent.
