Goodnight, dear euro. I always enjoy your comments and your personal acknowledgement.

Paddy doing The Fields of Athenroa(sp) was beautiful.

I'm going to say goodnight with three pieces of art.

First, the poem by William Blake:

By William Blake
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Now, from tigers to monkees.

Lake Street Dive - Bad Self Portraits

Welcom back, dear tsar. Don't know Lake Street Drive's Bad Self Portraits, but it was great.

Today is this lady's birthday, but first some info.


Mildred "Millie" Jackson (born July 15, 1944) is an American R&B/soul singer-songwriter and comedienne. Three of her albums have been certified gold by the RIAA for over 500,000 copies.

Her vocal performances are often distinguished by long, humorous, and explicit spoken sections in her music, which she started doing on stage to get the attention of the audience. She has also recorded songs in a disco or dance music style and even some country styled songs. She is the mother of contemporary R&B singer, Keisha Jackson.

Love Soul music, y'all.

euro, you make the most delightful comments here. Love Billy Ocean doing When the Going Gets Tough; the tough get going.

Sturgis is ill, so let's hope he's tough.

Anyone remember Ocean's Eleven?

Here's a memory jog.

Uh Oh, I think everyone must have drowned in those Oceans.

How about some more Brothers.

Humor.

Hi Miss Letty, would you believe I've never seen any of the Oceans series of movies.
What are they at now?, Oceans 19.
Yes Yes on the Righteous Brothers, a true classic.

Hey Ms Letty,

Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah

To the Computer and to Jeff. He was a very talented young man who continually saw himself drowning, well so some of his songs go... And, that's the way he died.

Chanson pour Marilyn (Song for Marilyn) - Claude Nougaro



This was written after her death. I can't translate it, to poetic to even try. Just the last 3 verses:

Toi qui connait la fin du film, --- Now that you know how the movie ends
Dis Marilyn --- Say, Marilyn...
Est-ce un baiser? --- Does it end with a kiss?
