Wonderful music on our radio station today. Wish I could acknowledge each contribution, but as you know I thank you by thumbing up your resposes.

tsar, I always appreciate what you play here.

euroGorge. The most beautiful girl in the world was great.

Going to say goodnight with two songs.

First, a scientific expedition.

Well, re Lalo Schifrin and hi, Letty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalo_Schifrin

Meantime, I may be the only living person who heard Coltrane live on a first date and didn't like it one bit. Such noise! I was then 2o, about to turn 21..

Good morning from our radio station in Florida.

Osso/Jo, Thanks for that info. Amazing that you have seen John Coltrane. Great musician.

euroGeorge, Love that song by that lady. I Can't stand the rain sometimes; other times it's great.

Two comparison songs for the morning here.

First, Van the Man.

Now, Hugh Laurie.

@Letty,
I thought both versions of St James Infirmary were great Miss Letty.

@eurocelticyankee,
euro, that was a great one by Moby. Didn't know the performer, so once again, thanks for the introduction.

There was a little baby at St. James. It died after it was born.

I used to refer to songs that I know, and don't know why I know them. Now I realize why. I taught the evolution of music in my history class.

Do you know this one, Irish?

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

and, the lyrics:

A Spanish cavalier stood in his retreat,
And on his guitar play'd a tune, dear;
The music so sweet they'd oft-times repeat.
The blessing of my country and you, dear.

Chorus.
Say, darling, say, when I'm far away.
Sometimes you may think of me, dear;
Bright sunny days will soon fade away,
Remember what I say and be true, dear.

I'm off to the war, to the war I must go,
To fight for my country and you, dear;
But if I should fall in vain, I would call
The blessing of my country and you, dear.-Chorus.

When the war is o'er to you I'll return.
Back to my country and you, dear;
But if I be slain, you may seek me in vain,
Upon the battle-field you will find me.

Once again, Calling all music lovers, musicians, painters and poets.

Our poem for today:

My Star;
Robert Browning
All, that I know
Of a certain star
Is, it can throw
(Like the angled spar)
Now a dart of red,
Now a dart of blue
Till my friends have said
They would fain see, too,
My star that dartles the red and the blue!
Then it stops like a bird; like a flower, hangs furled:
They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it.
What matter to me if their star is a world?
Mine has opened its soul to me; therefore I love it

@George,
Quote:
(Polly Ester)

I think that was the joke, i.e. it's a stage name. Very 80's... It may have been a factor in why she did not last much... The name had a ring of artificiality.

er, Frenchman, why not reply to all.

Izz with a y. Great tribute to Nelson

(Afrikaans: “apartness” or “separateness”) Policy of racial segregation and political and economic discrimination against non-European groups in South Africa. I didn't realize that Nelson spent 30 years in jail.

"I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news and she just smiled and walked away. Poor Janice.

@Letty,
Hi Miss Letty,
I do indeed know The Spanish Cavalier, heartwarming music.
Love Janis too.

I'm a big fan of The Specials and am planning to go see them in Nov.
