Hullo, Chaahlie! Ready to get busy here in the heartland!

Good afternoon, Charlie and all!

Maurice - what a jaunty guy! Here's a article on the Nazi collaboration issue:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm Charlie:

hi there geezerette
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:13pm Webhamster Henry:

We want Petula, Cilla, Dusty, Lulu, and Melanie on this show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:14pm Charlie:

Petula -- check.
Faust -- check.
Avatar 12:15pm Mayuko:

I love love love this song of Faust. Feels so good to listen to on a rainy day, and sunny day like today too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:16pm Charlie:

Always a happy-mood-making song :)
And it gives me a chance to read the story about Chevalier that Henry posted!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:19pm Charlie:

Interesting and complicated story about Maurice. I did not know any of that about him....
Avatar 12:20pm bobdoesthings:

good afternoon doin nothin
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:21pm JP from KC:

A great read, Henry! Thanks for sharing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:21pm Charlie:

hey there bobdoingthings!

Happy sunny afternoon Charlie and my fellow loafers!
Avatar ♥ 12:25pm Carmichael:

Heya Chaz and listeners.
Avatar 12:26pm geezerette:

Sunshine and Shadow is also the name of Mary Pickford's autobiography.
Avatar 12:28pm ndbob:

heya Charlie and everyone!
Avatar 12:30pm Mayuko:

Is Yukimi Japanese???
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:31pm Charlie:

hey there testingwithfire, Carmichael, and ndbob!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32pm doctorjazz:

I Know You Rider, lovely version!
Avatar 12:32pm geezerette:

ahhhh...John Renbourn. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32pm Charlie:

Mayuko -- she has one Japanese parent, one Swedish. She sings with the band Little Dragon. Koop are a Swedish electronic duo.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm doctorjazz:

(not quite, but most of the lyrics overlap...)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:35pm Charlie:

same source I guess
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm Artie Haywire:

Hello, Sunny!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm Charlie:

Hello, Artie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:38pm Webhamster Henry:

That part of Maurice's life would make a good paranoia show (stage or movie). It could intersperse French music hall songs with blackmailers, Nazis, and misled reporters.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm Charlie:

Good idea Henry -- it would make a good contemporary opera or musical -- get started on a libretto!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm Webhamster Henry:

Premiere at Monte Hall, 2018.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42pm Charlie:

:)
Avatar 12:44pm Mayuko:

I see, thank you Charlie! Yukimi Nagano is a very pretty Japanese name although it sounds more related to snow-scape rather than Summer Sun, haha.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45pm Charlie:

snow-scape name is good for living in Sweden :)

Hello, Chaz and all sunshine-staters.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:32pm Charlie:

Hey there, Jeff!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm Charlie:

Uncle Michael -- I liked the version of Midnight Sun you played a while back by Bob Dorough.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm Brian in UK:

Hello Charlie and playmates.

Did Spooky Tooth record a song called 'Sunshine Help Me'? What the heck if they did.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:34pm Webhamster Henry:

I've got sunshine on my shoulder, a rainbow round my shoulder and my head in the clouds.
Avatar 1:35pm ndbob:

Great song - so much better than the Frankie Valli version
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:35pm Brian in UK:

One of Phil Spector's great non productions.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:35pm Charlie:

Hi Brian in UK -- don't know offhand
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:36pm Charlie:

Henry -- and your feet on the ground?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:36pm Uncle Michael:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:36pm Charlie:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:36pm Brian in UK:

Avatar ♥ 1:42pm Carmichael:

Any song with whistling is a great song! Especially Hocus Pocus by Focus.
Avatar ♥ 1:42pm Carmichael:

I have always loved this Hartford song!
Avatar ♥ 1:44pm Carmichael:

He also did a song about his good ol' washing machine that was fun.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:44pm Jeff Golick:

@Carmichael: your avi is making me thirsty.
Avatar ♥ 1:45pm Carmichael:

Wait'll you see next week's, Jeff!
Avatar ♥ 1:51pm Carmichael:

The Kinks sing so many songs about sunny days or sunsets.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:52pm doctorjazz:

Shine on, Nothing-doers!
Avatar 1:53pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar 1:53pm Erehwonite:

Blaze away, Charlie

Aw, nice ending, fine show, thanks Charlie.
