Let's try and forget how cold and wet it is right now. This might not warm us up physically, but it can't do any harm.

Hey, pushman. Love that one by Mr. Dredlocks. Here's one to match.

Also thought of The Statler Brothers. It's Randolph Scott's birthday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJlD5roDqNw

I admired Thomas Edison until he electrocuted a rogue elephant to disgrace Nicola Tessla and his wireless electricity.

I used to look forward to Randolph Scott movies.

John Lennon

Didn't know that one by John Lennon, edgar. Great one and his shine reminded me of Pink Floyd. Thanks for your comment on The Statler Brothers.

This song by them is about Richard Wright, but first some info on the man.

African-American writer and poet Richard Wright was born on September 4, 1908 in Roxie, Mississippi and published his first short story at the age of 16. Later, he found employment with the Federal Writers Project and received critical acclaim for Uncle Tom's Children, a collection of four stories. He’s well known for the 1940 bestseller Native Son and his 1945 autobiography Black Boy. Wright died in Paris, France on November 28, 1960.

Now, the song.

My youngest sister surprised me by saying Pink Floyd is her favorite artist.

Peggy Lee

Ah, edgar, love that dejavu song by Peggy Lee. Well, Texas, everyone of us have favorites. Mine is still smooth jazz, but I have learned to enjoy all the music that is played on our radio.

Remember this haiku by Richard Wright?

I am nobody,
A red, sinking autumn sun
Took my name away.

Never much cared for Buddy Holly either, but I learned to appreciate him when he inspired Don McLean.

Here he is doing Peggy Sue.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb7KyPSbFqo

I was an enthusiastic Holly fan, well before he did Peggy Sue. I used to buy all his 45s.

Elvis

As I noted, edgar, everyone here has their favorite songs. Didn't care for Elvis either until I heard him do this one inspired by Alexander Pope.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OipjKB6KRT0

How about our artist for today. It's his birthday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYLo0FGYlGA

That's a good elvis song and I like the impressionists too.
