Yes I know that song.

good morning, from here in our Florida radio station.

Sorry that I can't acknowledge each contribution, but as you know, my way of thanking you is to thumb you up.

Today is Josh Groban's birthday, but here is an instrumental version by Andre Rieu.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJqiV55JnX0

Now, the lyrics:

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

The late Tim Wilson

Did you like Josh Groban, edgar. I liked Tim Wilson's song about Jimmy Hoffa. Have they ever found his body?

Remember The Sound of Music?

Here are two versions of the flower. First a choral version.

Now, folks, here is a surprise. John Denver and Julie Andrews

Well, edgar has gone fishin, it's his lazy day.

Inspired by Herr hbg:

I will try to fill in for the legendary edgar.

Here is a steamy song from a young British songstress.

I gived you a thumbs up, didn't I?
I never saw Sound of Music, but I do like the songs from it.

Buddy Holly

I like Fiddler and Ellie also.

Love that one by Goethe, and Buddy Holly. Glad you like Fiddler on the Roof.

Here's on to match Buddy's

I like Heartache enough I bought the record.

I remember Party Doll, edgar.
