[Ozimoto]

And hear is a classic from Ricky Nelson.

Roy Orbison - She's a Mystery To Me

The song from Mary Black reminded me of this one.

Very nicely done. We went to Ellis Island with the intent to stay until the next ferry, just to say we'd been there. Four hours later we left with a whole new appreciation for this, now, very haunting place. It's a must place to see if one gets a chance.

Speaking of Mary Black, here's a close harmony, nostalgic song with Mary, her sister, and brothers ie. The Black Family.

 

[Ozimoto]

Mary Black has the perfect voice for songs of loss and longing.

This one has been covered a number of times. I'm pretty sure Del wrote the song.

Them Tucker Boys and Cowboy Jazz at its best:

So I don't want you to think
That you're the first one
To leave me out here on my own
Cause this ain't gonna be the first time
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone

This one has been covered a number of times. I'm pretty sure Del wrote the song.

Yes, a top bluegrass classic.

Swinging jazz from the Netherlands. Caro Emerald is a Dutch pop star with a number of Euro hits.

Another Wendy Waldman gem:

The Main Refrain. Living is Good. Back by Fall. My favorite 3 by Wendy.

I'll have to go with Spring is Here, Love Has Got Me, Cold Back, and this one - North Woods Man:

A rather obscure and beautiful Neil Young gem:

 

[Bama fan]

Now I’m hungry for colcannon.

My Dad would have eaten it every day if Mom would make it.

Mary Black has the perfect voice for songs of loss and longing.

She has a daughter who appears as Roisin O who often sings with Danny O'Reilly.

Here is an Irish singer that does a variety of interesting stuff. Her name is Imelda May.

Here is Imelda May singing "Call Me", but not that one!

This group featured one of the best vocalists of his era, Mr Tony Williams.

Here is the oh so classy G I Jo.

Here is Helen Forrest with Harry James. While singing in Artie Shaw's band along with Billie Holiday she noticed that Billie stayed off stage until her song began. She was told that was because of Ms Holiday's race, so she refused to appear on stage until her songs too.

Another offering, sticking with my personal sub-theme of exceptional interpretations of work created by other artists...

Hoagy Carmichael's wonderful, 1939 composition, "I Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes)" from Carly Simon.

My Dad would have eaten it every day if Mom would make it.

My wife would eat it every day if I'd make it. I hit upon the twist of making it with bacon in place of much of the butter, and sometimes kale in place of the cabbage.

Unfortunately our daughter doesn't like potatoes, so we don't have colcannon nearly enough.
