Deep Forest is cool. Quite a few of those younguish French bands sing in English, eg you might know Cocoon.

Good chilly morning from our Florida radio station. Yep, izz with a y it's Thors Day here.

Vonny, I enjoyed Mumford and Sons.

edgar, Sorry about that guy's death. Broken Hearted says it right.

Two songs for the morning here.

First, a birthday guy:

Here's some info.

Richard Dawson (born Colin Lionel Emm; November 20, 1932 – June 2, 2012) was an English-American actor and comedian, and a game show host and panelist in the United States.

Dawson was well known for playing Corporal Peter Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes, being the original host of the Family Feud game show from 1976 to 1985 and from 1994 to 1995, and a regular panelist on the 1970s version of Match Game on CBS from 1973 to 1978. After a successful career in British television and cinema, Dawson moved to Los Angeles. In 1984, he became an American citizen while retaining his British Citizenship.

So glad that Izzie is recovering, y'all

Glad to know McTag is alright. He's going to London, but not exactly to visit the Queen or to frighten a little mouse under her chair.

Once again, calling all CLOWNS, musicians, painters, etcetera etcetera.

First, this famous clown.

Now, y'all, inspired by edgar. I am given to understand that Steve McQueen is going to make a movie of Paul Robeson.

Many musical people have said that if they could compare a bassist and a tenor, it would be these two.

Where are our poets, music lovers, and chatters?

Well, I don't see him with a crown, but a tambourine:

Calling England, Calling France Calling Ireland. Miss you here, guys. Miss our gals, too.

Here's a surprise. Andrea doing a cover of Elvis inspired by Alexander Pope.

Well, my daughter requested this one, and it's perfect for another calling. I know you're out there somewhere.

Anyone remember The Allman Brothers?

Here's a memory, y'all.

The Allman Brothers Band was an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, organ, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). While the band has been called the principal architects of southern rock, they also incorporate elements of blues, jazz, and country music, and their live shows have jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals.

Here's a tribute to this guy on his birthday.

As I have mentioned before, in the days of radio, there was only one person who operated the system. Other folks would telephone for a request.

Well, for some reason I don't mind being alone in our radio station here in Florida. Thinking of The Dobbie Brothers. My late son loved them.

I always think of happier times now.
