It worked, y'all. Hope you enjoyed "the bird man" and Kris and Johnny.

edgar, Andy's was a good one. Olivier 5 and Vonny you both did The Brel man. His voice was better than I remember.

How about another street:

Shakespeare never wrote any plays about Henry VII. The quotation was from Henry VI part 2. An altogether less successful king.

Are we certain the guy ever existed? :-)

There's his bloody will for a start.

Anne Hathaway
by Carol Ann Duffy from The World's Wife

'Item I gyve unto my wife my second best bed ...'
(from Shakespeare's will)

The bed we loved in was a spinning world
of forests, castles, torchlight, clifftops, seas
where we would dive for pearls. My lover's words
were shooting stars which fell to earth as kisses
on these lips; my body now a softer rhyme
to his, now echo, assonance; his touch
a verb dancing in the centre of a noun.
Some nights, I dreamed he'd written me, the bed
a page beneath his writer's hands. Romance
and drama played by touch, by scent, by taste.
In the other bed, the best, our guests dozed on,
dribbling their prose. My living laughing love -
I hold him in the casket of my widow's head
as he held me upon that next best bed.

Oops, Izz with a y, I got my roman numerals wrong. Thanks for the correction.

Well, Whoever Shakespeare is his music will live on.

Two songs for the afternoon here at our Florida radio station.

First, The Dobbie Brothers:

I'll bet our Brit didn't go to Hyde Park to see these two perform.

I almost saw Motorhead at Newcastle City Hall, but couldn't afford to see them and Hawkwind.

This is Motorhead by Hawkwind.

Hey, Brit. Motorhead by Hawk Wind was good.

Ah, Brittess, Big River and Dire Straits were also enjoyable.

Another stairway, y'all.

More synchronicity, y'all, my older sister introduced me to this one. Maybe Olivier 5 will recognize him. Another stairway.

Well, daylight savings time is gone, so I am saying good afternoon with this lovely hymn. It is for my friend Lois who is very ill and we sent her the lyrics.

Some background:

Lead, Kindly Light is a hymn with words written in 1833 by John Henry Newman as a poem titled "the Pillar of Cloud". In some hymnals, one may find a fourth verse added by Edward H Bickersteth Jr, Bishop of Exeter. It is usually sung to the tune Lux Benigna, composed by John Bacchus Dykes in 1865, to Alberta by William H Harris, or as a choral anthem by John Stainer (1886).[1] Arthur Sullivan also did a setting, Lux in Tenebris.which Ian Bradley praises as a "much more sensitive and honest setting of Newman's ambiguity and expressons of doubt" than Dykes' "steady, reassuring" rhythms.
