Good evening, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...chilly in your neck of the woods, huh?

“They” say we could be high 30s over the next few days, along with snow and sleet. UGH!!

Red Hot Chili Peppers: "Walkabout"

[luvie]

Perfect addition! :)

[Liberty Valance]

Nellie McKay - The Dog Song

[Publius]

It's one of Schuberts "barbershop" quartets. The poem by Seidl is rather sappy.

"Do moonbeans reach into the grave?"

In the last line, the grave answers back:

"Come and see!" In other words, "You see any moonbeans down here, sucker?!"

It's hair-raising!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Luv....and hoping to see it later.

[Publius]

Mine?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I have them, but use them only when necessary.

I’ve had lasik and love being glasses free...sometimes I need the readers, but more often than not I can get along without them.

[Dr. Sivana]

Fats Domino: "Walking to New Orleans"

Interesting pick, when "I'm Walkin'" by Fats is the more associated with him.

I love the way he plays the piano. He treats it like it is his most reliable best friend who would never let him down. Contrast that with, say Carole King (check her "One Fine Day" video), where she is trying to beat the poor piano up.

If I wanted to have a VERY pleasant dinner party, and could name any celbrities from the 20th century, Fats Domino, Dean Martin and Gilbert O'Sullivan would make my short list. Gracious men who would never let a host feel inadequate.

Oh, and for other "Walking" songs, I'd like to throw out Del Shannon's last record, "Walk Away".

I'm waiting for someone to suggest "Take a Walk on the Wild Side".

[RegulatorCountry]

From 1979, before a crowd of 2,000 in The Netherlands, an almost painfully young Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland and Gordon Sumner (”Sting”) otherwise known as The Police, turned in a very nice live performance of their ska-influenced “Walking On The Moon.”

I’ve always preferred their early, ska-tinged music to anything later, which became too mainstream and too political. This was one of the better and better known ones from that era. But, “Man In A Suitcase” was nice, too, but lesser known.

[Publius]

I posted the Lou Reed video of that song with some trepidation.

[Fiji Hill]

If "stompin'" is akin to "walkin'"....then...

• Everybody Stomp!--Art Landry (1926)

• Alabama Stomp--Gus C. Edwards (1926)

• Sugarfoot Stomp--Fletcher Henderson (1925)

• Stompin' at the Savoy--Bob Crosby & His Bobcats (with Judy Garland) (1936)
