Take this Hammer

Welcome back, my Scottish friend. That Battle fiend Band was captivating. I listened twice. Ah, bagpipes, fiddles, guitar, and piano. Thanks for the historical information, too.

When my Beth was a little gal, I sang this nursery rhyme to her.

Well my goodness, it worked.

edgar, thanks for the comment and personal acknowledgement. Love Lead Belly doing that Hammer Song. Reminded me a bit of John Henry

I called myself on the telephone

Just to hear my mellow tone

bump

and a bump bump

bumpity bump bump

Funny, Texas. We used to have a group called The Mellow Tones. Hope you'll check out my nursery rhyme.


"Old King Cole" is a British nursery rhyme most likely deriving from ancient Welsh. The historical identity of King Cole has been much debated and several candidates have been advanced as possibilities. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 1164. The poem describes a merry king who called for his pipe, his bowl, and his three fiddlers

My fave torch-song and singer of the '60s is still this song by Brenda Lee (pics are nostalgic and hot/cool, too). I used to ice skate to this at the public skating rink:

Ragman, Welcome back to you as well. Brend Lee (little miss dynamite) is great. Also enjoyed all the movie stars on the visual.

Maybe Brenda's Lonely song can be cheered up by this guy.

Welcome back to you as well, izz with a y. Wild Wild Life by The Talking Heads I didn't know so thanks for the introduction.

Your wild life reminds of the one.

Sixty year old music: like, 1953.

When I hear that serenade in blue
I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to know, many moons ago.
Once again your face comes back to me
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
In the album of my memory, serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday, the small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away, I hear you say forever more
And then the song became a sigh
Forever more became goodbye
Cause you remained in my heart, but
Tell me darling in there still a spark?
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Should I go on whistling in the dark, serenade in blue.

Great having Scotland, England, and France with us.

From Letty with love to the rest of our world

She & Him -- I Was Made For You

Mika -- Boum Boum Boum

Neko nomad, Great song. Sorry that I missed it last evening.
