Calendar Girl

Anyone else who has watched this video come to the realization that August is the best month of the year?

Great song from old days...

Cliff Richard - 60's Idol

Cliff Richard is my mothers best singer from the times she was a teenager...

This is a class song, way ahead of its time, and Cliff's finest moment..
The use of brass is astonishing and the production superb...
Great tribute to 60's pop...

Another great song that has stayed with me right through my life from childhood!
Young Ones, they don't make shows like that anymore...

Please Release Me

42 years have passed since this song introduced Engelbert to the World of Music.
This video is at least twenty years old, Enge never does a live show without including this song, and we all wait to hear it once again, even though it signals the end of that night's performance.
At 73 years of age, he has a packed schedule this year, touring the world to sing his songs, and fans wait with open arms and hearts, for his arrival in their world.
A Special Artist, and such a nice person.

Reflections Of My Life

One of the great songs of the 70's.

This song played in a documentary on Viet Nam in the early seventies.
It was about Company C, the men of who refused a direct order to march down the middle of a road (ordered to by an idiot OCS officer Im sure!).
They told the officer that no way were they going to walk down that road, that they should stick to the jungle.
At one point they were taking a break laying around and this song was playing.
It really gave you a sense of the futility of the Viet Nam war.

I wish more of their music had made it to the states.
"I See The Rain" is one of their terrific songs that never made it across the water--listened to only by music esoterics like myself.

Sarah Palin - Young Girl

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl,
You´re much too young, girl.

With all the charms of a woman
You´ve kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You´re old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth

Oh, Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl,
You´re much too young, girl.

So hurry home to your mama
I´m sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
how can this love of ours grow.

Oh,Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl,
You´re much too young, girl.

Turn turn turn ...

The Byrds were popular and influential through the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970s.

I never get tired of hearing this song either and I think Forrest Gump was the most endearing character in a movie ever.

He truly knew what LOVE was!
Forrest Gump is the greatest movie i ever seen, and the exact choice of song for the movie..

The greatest group of the 50's, the Platters combined a tremendous lead singer Tony Williams to the highest level...

Tony Williams and The Platters did indeed have "The Magic Touch"!

It brings me back in time to the romantic nights with my wife...

Last night I said these words to my girl ...

As George is playing the first few notes of the introduction , watch closely and see that John is tuning a string on his guitar!

Also see how Ringo misses his break at 1:24 ...

A great, great moment in televised entertainment.

The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in February, 1964.

This famous song is a classic one.

It is about the famous Fair in Ireland and it is based on the Irish folk song.

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme lyrics :

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washes the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
