@edgarblythe,
I didn't know Anna either, edgar, but I knew the song.
Harry doing The Grizzly Bear was great.

How about our poem for today, y'all.

John Milton. 1608–1674

318. On His Blindness

WHEN I consider how my light is spent
E're half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide,
Lodg'd with me useless, though my Soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present 5
My true account, least he returning chide,
Doth God exact day-labour, light deny'd,
I fondly ask; But patience to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts, who best 10
Bear his milde yoak, they serve him best, his State
Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed
And post o're Land and Ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and waite.
Letty

edgar, Loved that one by "the fab four", and That one by Bobby Darin was a good one, but rather sad.

izz with a y Those gorillaz were funny. I remember joking with Beth saying:

Gorilla my dreams I love you. Razz

Saying goodnight with two versions of the same song. First, the instrumental:

Ah, edgar, I really like Hoagy, but I recall that one best by "the crooner".

Well, I'm still having a bit of a health problem, but decided that The Doobie Brothers might help.

Just found out that China Grove was a place in Texas.

@edgarblythe,
Love that one by Dinah Washington, edgar.

Here's another Dinah: First the lyrics:

Dinah,
Is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her,
Show her!

Dinah,
With her Dixie eyes blazin',
How I love to sit and gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee!

Yet, every night,
My, how I shake with fright,
Because my Dinah might,
Change her mind about me!

But if Dinah,
Ever wandered to China,
I would hop an ocean!,
Just to be with Dinah Lee!

Now, the instrumental.

Hope this works, y'all. Been having a few problems with my pc.

There aren't many Ragtime songs I can name, as good as it is. Here is one called Ragtime, but it's Randy Newman and it's not Ragtime.

@edgarblythe,
Wow! That was a beautiful waltz, edgar and I think we all know that a waltz is in three quarter time. How about some classical music for today.

@edgarblythe,
Roy Hamilton has a magnificent voice, edgar and The End of the Rainbow was excellent.

There are many songs taken from classical pieces. Here is Nelson Eddy singing one from Chopin.

Now, the classical piece.
