Since I met You Baby - Ivory Joe Hunter

Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
And everybody tells me that I am not the same

I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
Cause since I met you baby all I need is you

What Am I Living For - Chuck Willis

What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
oh nobody else, nobody else will do

What am I longing for each lonely night,
To feel your lips to mine, to hold you tight
You'll be the only girl my whole life through,
Oh nobody else, nobody else will do

I want you close to me that's all I know,
I want you all the time because darling I love you so

What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
Baby nobody else, nobody else will do



What am I living for if not for you,
Darling nobody else, nobody else will do
nobody else, nobody else will do

How will we get there?

I want to dream
I want to believe
I want to touch the hand of charity

The earth it slowly dies
Like a falling leaf from this tree…
...of technology…

Ahhh… How will we get there from, here
Forget the things we fear?
How did we let things disappear?

Will there be enough time
To cross this mountain that we climb?
Heartbeats made from a machine?
Burning energy that is clean?
How will we get there from here?

The earth is a fuse
We use more than we produce
Yet have our dreams been lost
Recycled and tossed away...

Yet change keeps us moving
And the mysteries we seek to uncover
We may never discover...

Ahhh… How will we get there from, here,
Forget the things we fear?
How did we let things disappear?

How will we get there from here?

I want to dream
I want to believe
I want to touch the hand of charity

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

edgar, it seems that we played a bit of the crying game last evening, but often those type songs are like an evacuation of the mind, leaving it open to the imagination, no?

Rex, nice to see you back with an original, and yes, sometimes we weep for our planet with all its scars and depletion.

A song for the day.

Rod Stewart version:

No tears
No fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again

Your kiss
Your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again

Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad

Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is never goodbye
We'll be together again.

Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad

Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not goodbye
We'll be together again.

Actually, only the first of the three can be called crying song. The other two are expressions of devotion.

I realized that, Texas. I just had "We'll be Together Again" on my mind, so I matched it with your song, buddy.

Song for the morning:

DEVO Song Lyrics

Morning Dew
(From the album "GREATEST")

WALK ME OUT IN THE MORNING DEW MY FRIEND
WALK ME OUT IN THE MORNING DEW TODAY
CAN'T WALK YOU OUT IN THE MORNING DEW MY FRIEND
CAN'T WALK YOU OUT IN THE MORNING DEW TODAY
I THOUGHT I HEARD A BABY CRY THIS MORNING
I THOUGHT I HEARD A BABY CRY TODAY
YOU DIDN'T HEAR NO BABY CRY THIS MORNING
YOU DIDN'T HEAR NO BABY CRY TODAY
WHERE HAVE ALL THE PEOPLE GONE THIS MORNING
WHERE HAVE ALL THE PEOPLE GONE TODAY
YOU'LL NEVER FIND NO PEOPLE HERE THIS MORNING
YOU DIDN'T NEED THOSE PEOPLE ANYWAY
I THOUGHT I HEARD A YOUNG MALE CALL THIS MORNING
I THOUGHT I HEARD A YOUNG MALE CALL TODAY
YOU DIDN'T HEAR NO YOUNG GIRL CALL THIS MORNING
YOU DIDN'T HEAR NO YOUNG GIRL CALL TODAY
AND NOW I CAN'T WALK YOU OUT IN THE MORNING DEW MY FRIEND
I GUESS IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY

Well, all right then.

We Texans are a bit slow so early in the AM.

Berlin Irving - I Got The Sun In The Morning Lyrics


Taking stock of what I have and what I haven't
What do I find?
The things I got will keep me satisfied
Checking up on what I have and what I haven't
What do I find?
A healthy balance on the credit side

Got no diamond
Got no pearl
Still I think I'm a lucky girl
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Got no mansion
Got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I got
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Sunshine
Gives me a lovely day
Moonlight
Gives me the Milky Way

Got no checkbooks
Got no banks
Still I'd like to express my thanks
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

And with the sun in the morning
And the moon in the evening
I'm all right

Got no mansion
Got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I got
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Got no silver
Got no gold
What I got can't be bought or sold
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Sunshine
Gives me a lovely day
Moonlight
Gives me the Milky Way

Got no checkbooks
Got no banks
Still I'd like to express my thanks
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

And with the sun in the morning
And the moon in the evening
I'm all right

Sunshine
Gives me a lovely day
Moonlight
Gives me the Milky Way

Got no heirlooms
For my kin
Made no will but when I cash in
I leave the sun in the morning and the moon at night

And with the sun in the morning
And the moon in the evening they're all right

Hey, Try. Nice wake up call, honey. Thanks, buddy.

Search for Landslide Survivors Ended By EILEEN NG, Associated Press Writer
13 minutes ago



GUINSAUGON, Philippines - Rescue teams abandoned the search for survivors of a landslide that buried a farming village, and now will focus on helping people left homeless by the disaster, the provincial governor said Friday.



"We have collectively decided to stop the search and rescue phase of the operation," said Gov. Rosette Lerias of Southern Leyte province.

"We have decided to move on to recovery and rehabilitation of survivors because our greater responsibility ... is to rebuild the lives of those who have been devastated by this disaster," she said.

The official death toll in the village of Guinsaugon is 132, but more than 1,000 people are believed dead, buried beneath tons of mud by the Feb. 17 landslide.

There's nothing natural about a disaster, is there, listener.

Milk Cow Blues
Well I woke up this mornin', looked outdoors
I can tell my milk cow, I can tell by the way she lows
If you see my milk cow, please drive her on home
'cause I ain't had no milk and butter since that cows been gone
Well you gotta treat me right honey day by day
Get out your little prayer book, get down upon your knees and pray
'cause you're gonna need me, you're gonna need my help someday
Lord you're gonna be sorry, oh, you treated me this a way
Aw, now take it away boys
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing till you lose your happy home
Well good evening, don't that sun look good going down
I said well good evening, don't that sun look good going down
Don't that ol' army cot look lonely when your lover ain't no place around
Well I tried everything baby to get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop my crying, gonna leave you alone
And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma
Just count the days I'm gone
You ain't gonna see me, you ain't gonna see my sweet face no more
Lord you gonna be wondering honey where in this world I've gone
Milk cow blues

Milk Cow Blues? I do wonder where they got the title for that song, dys.

Hey, listeners. Can you guess who did this one?



I'm Into Something Good


Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love
She's everthing I've been dreamin' of
She's everthing I've been dreamin' of

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

Good mornin', Letty! It's a gorgeous day here!
Thought I'd share one of my favorite songs today...cracks me up everytime I hear it!
I'm dedicating it to Squinney, who's hard at work sellin' it in DC.


IF I CAN'T SELL IT, I'LL SIT ON IT
Ruth Brown

I own a secondhand furniture store and I think my prices are fair.
'Course this real cheap guy I know came in one day.
Saw this chair he wanted to buy, but he wouldn't, claimed the price was too high.
So I looked him straight in the eye, and this was my reply...

If I can't sell it, I'm gonna sit down on it.
I ain't gonna give it away.
Now darling if you want it, you're gonna have to buy it.
And I mean just what I say.

Now how would you like to find this waitin' at home for you every night. Only been used once or twice, but it's still nice and TIGHT!
Whoa... So if I can't sell it, I'm gonna keep sittin on it.
I ain't gonna give it away.

Now you can't find a better pair of legs in town
And a back like this, huh, not for miles around.
And that is why if I can't sell it, I'm going to recline upon it.
Why should I give it away?

Because it's made for comfort, built for wear and tear.
Where else could you find such an easy chair!
Haa... Whoa... If I can't sell it, darling I'm gonna sit down on it.
I don't see the need to give it away.

Because it's lush, plush, slick and sleek.
Darling, a high class chair like this at any price is cheap!
So if I can't sell it, I'm gonna sit back down on it.
Why should I give it away?

Now look at this nice bottom, ain't it easy on the eye!
Guaranteed to support any weight or size!
Whoa... If I can't sell it, I'm just gonna keep sittin on it.
Don't ask me to give it away.

Now, I have really had my fill of folks always comin' 'round with their hands stuck out,
Wantin' something, don't want to give up nothing.
Now if you want this, put your hand in your stash and give me some cash.
Now if you want something for free, go to the Salvation Army, don't come runnin' to me.

Now this is not St. Paul's place, this is Ruth's place.
Read my lips. NO FREE TRIPS!
And you can look at me and see I have not been starvin', darling.
Now I have a few diamonds that I haven't even taken off to dust lately.

Now you are not getting anything around here for free.
Show me the color of your money.
Or GOODBYE!

There's our Eva, folks, with another song that can be taken two ways. Love it, gal.

Sooooo, I wonder if BVT is in to something good?

Don't think he's an eremite, however.

Poem of the day from a reclusive and wonderful lady:

This Is My Letter To The World by Emily Dickinson.

This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

Eva('s winecellar) reminds me to do some researches for my short trip to France next week.


Otherwise ... ... ... :wink:

I was lost in France
In the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in France
And the day was just beginning
As I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can't explain
I was lost in France in love.

I was lost in France
In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
When I looked up he was standing there
I knew I shouldn't but didn't care
I was lost in France in love

Oo la la la oo la la la dance
Oo la la la dancing

I was lost in France
And the vines were overflowing
I was lost in France
And a million stars were glowing
And I looked roond for a telephone
To say
Baby I won't be home
I was lost in France in love.

Oo lalala oo la la la dance
Oo la la la oo la la la dancing

Well, my goodness. There's Walter back with us. Hey, Germany. That's right. You are going to skip across to France, but I suspect that you know about fine wines, right?

Watch your step, Walter.<smile>


[Verse:]
Subway Guards and Motormen
Congregated once again
At the Streetcar Conductor's annual ball
Just watch them dancing 'round the slippery floor
As they did the year before
While the band is playing
Those subway guards are saying




[Refrain:]
Watch your step! watch your step!
Hear those conductors all shout
Watch your step! watch your step!
As they go dancing about

They're such a jolly mob
That crosstown trolley mob
Soon they'll all be drinking fine Rhine wine

Look at the fellows who collect your fare
See them there
Having the time of their lives
One and all at the ball
Dancing around with their wives

See the children that they bring up
On the nickels they forget to ring up
And while the band is playing
They are saying "Watch your step!"

Marjorie Main
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marjorie Main (24 February 1890 - 10 April 1975) was an Oscar-nominated American character actress, perhaps best known for her role as Ma Kettle in a series of ten Ma and Pa Kettle movies.

Early life

Main was born in Acton, Indiana as Mary Tomlinson. She attended Franklin College, in Franklin, Indiana and adopted a stage name to avoid embarrassing her father, who was a minister. She worked in vaudeville on the Chautauqua and Orpheum circuits, and debuted on Broadway in 1916. Her first film was A House Divided in 1931.

Career

Main began playing upper class dowagers, but was ultimately typecast in abrasive, domineering, salty roles: her distinct voice was like chalk upon a blackboard. She repeated her stage role in Dead End in the movie version of 1937, and was subsequently cast repeatedly as the mother of gangsters. She again transferred a strong stage performance, as a dude ranch operator in The Women, to film in 1939. She made six comedies with Wallace Beery in the 1940s.

She played Ma Kettle in The Egg and I in 1947 opposite Percy Kilbride as Pa Kettle. She was nominated for an Academy Award for the role, and repeated it in nine more films.

Private life

Main married Stanley LeFevre Krebs, who died in 1935. Her near-pathological fear of germs did not interfere with her career.

She was later a open lesbian, and was one of Boze Hadleigh's most open interviewees in his book Hollywood Lesbians (1996). Her own lover was Spring Byington with whom she lived openly in Beverly Hills, and which might have surprised many people given Byington's near constant casting in sweetly maternal roles. Main was quoted by Hadleigh as saying: "...it's true that Spring never had any use for men."

Main died in Los Angeles, California, of lung cancer at the age of 85.

Zachary Scott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zachary Scott (Austin, Texas February 24, 1914 - October 3, 1965 also in Austin from a brain tumor) was an American actor, most notable for his roles as villains and "mystery men". He was a distant cousin of both George Washington and Bat Masterson. Scott's father was a physician and his grandfather had been a very successful cattle rancher.

Scott intended to be a doctor like his father, but after attending the University of Texas for a while, he decided to switch to acting. He signed on as a cabin boy on a freighter which took him to England, where he acted in repertory theatre for a while, before he returned to Austin, and began acting in local theater.

Alfred Lunt discovered Scott in Texas and convinced him to move to New York City, where he appeared on Broadway. Jack Warner saw him in a performance, and signed him to appear in a movie, The Mask of Dimitrios, in 1944.

He appeared the next year in Mildred Pierce to much acclaim. In the film, Scott was Joan Crawford's love interest who ends up dead due to an illicit liaison with Crawford's teenager daughter, played by Ann Blyth. During this period, Scott and his first wife Elaine socialized regularly with Angela Lansbury and her first husband, Richard Cromwell. Elaine Scott had met Zachary Scott back in Austin and she made a name for herself behind the scenes on Broadway as Stage Manager for the original production of Oklahoma. The Scotts had one child together.

Zachary Scott enjoyed playing scoundrels and the public did too. Scott went on to star in such movies as The Southerner, The Unfaithful, Cass Timberlaine, Flamingo Road, Guilty Bystander, Wings of Danger, and Shadow on the Wall, opposite Nancy Davis Reagan and Ann Sothern.

In 1950, Scott was involved in a rafting accident. Also during that year, he divorced his first wife. Possibly as a result of these developments or due to a box-office slump, Scott succumbed to a depression which in turn limited his acting. Since Warner Bros. did not particularly continue to advertise his films, he turned back to the stage, and also appeared on television. During this period Scott remarried and he and his second wife had a child together as well. He moved back to Austin, where a theatre center bears his name. His family has endowed two chairs at the University of Texas's theatre department in his name.

Scott has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Michel Legrand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Michel Legrand (born February 24, 1932) is a French composer, arranger, conductor and pianist.

He has composed over 200 film and television scores, several musicals, and made well over a hundred albums. He has won three Oscars (out of 13 nominations), five Grammys, and an Emmy nomination. He was 22 when his very first album, I Love Paris, became one of the best-selling instrumental albums ever released. He is a virtuoso jazz and classical pianist, and an accomplished arranger and conductor who guests with orchestras all over the world.

In the early fifties he was one of the first Europeans to work together with the legendary jazz innovators Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Stan Getz and Bill Evans. At that time they were at the top of popularity and they seemed to be unattainable for the European musicians. But the talent and charm of Legrand were so high that all the great musicians made the records with him for to left the memory to the descendants

In various periods of his creative work Michel Legrand became a conductor of different orchestras in Petersburg, Vancouver, Mon real, Atlanta and Denver. Many world stars (jazz, variety and even classical) recorded more than 100 albums with him. More than any other European songwriter Legrand knew how to infiltrate into the repertoire of top singers such as Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Jack Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como, Lena Horne, Johnny Mathis, Dame Kiri te Kanawa, James Ingram and most of all Barbra Streisand.


We know Michel Legrand first of all as an author of wonderful cinema music. After appearing of Jacques Demy's films "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" and "The Young Girls of Rochefort" Michel Legrand became famous. All the dialogs were sung in these films and that was a revolutionary moment. The new genre was created where a word without music didn't find a place.

Soon Hollywood became interested in Legrand and bombarded him with orders to compose music to one film or to another. This fact says much because the Americans unwillingly recruit of collaboration the foreign musicians and actors. For the most of them the doors of Hollywood stays closed forever. Only few get the chance to take the place there. Michel Legrand was lucky to be among them. Having begun to collaborate with Hollywood, Legrand had to stay for a long time at this wonderful place which was a dream for everybody who was connected with cinema. Since that time he has been to America and France at once, living there and there and composing music for films (totally about 200) of following directors: Jean-Luc Godard, Richard Brooks, Claude Lelouch, Clint Eastwood and many others.
