I'm listening to a song Samson In New Orleans from Leonard Cohen's new ablum (due to release Sept 23rd).
An absolutely beautiful song but heartbreaking "... was our prayer so damn unworthy/the son rejected it" - there is an absolutely fabulous instrumental section - truly sublime!

Fran, I agree!....excellent !

I found a Dennis Day LP at a thrift store a while back, I got it for that one song. Loved it when I was a kid. Did you know Dennis Day had 11 kids?

Thats a good one, I always liked it. I remember the first time I ever heard it, it was on the Red Skelton TV show.

I just heard an interesting version of Are You Lonesome Tonight by Charles Hart recorded in 1926. He was an opera singer and it dosent sound too bad. There was another version about that same time by Oscar Grogan, but it sucked.
