Cat Stevens = Yusuf Islam. Don't forget his fatwa against Salman Rushdie...

Hi Gaylord! There is the man and there is the music.

Apologies for my lateness.

Good afternoon, Charlie

Gotta psych for doing something, some snow clearing, fine sounds should be good company.

Sun day here in West Toronto, sorry.

It will pass.
  12:12pm Listening Out There:

HBD, Judy! Yesterday happened to be my birthday. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:12pm Gaylord Fields:

Hi there, Charlie! I agree: We all have to make choices about the level of comfort we have in an artist's extracurricular life. Me, I'll steer clear of any Cat Stevens songs about persecuting Rushdie. YMMV.
  12:12pm jan:

Here for now- was out shoveling snow two times already! If this keeps up, I'll be going for a walk
and coming back to the archives....

I've already been out shoveling once today, so it's nice to take a break with this sunny song...

Going out for first round of shoveling soon, then rewarding self with grilled cheese when I come back in. Didn't Conan include grilled cheese in his list of what is best? "Crush your enemies..." etc.?
Avatar 12:42pm still b/p:

Jerry! Jerry is best!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:44pm Andy in Etobicoke:

Jerry Vale, who knew.

Take a bow!

Full value. Many thanks.

Avatar 1:40pm annie:

i think it had to be dr corey who turned me onto the joys of non-sensical berbiage, and then there was archie bumker, bless his heart
Avatar 1:41pm annie:

hi ndbob!! pay no attention to the typist for the above typed comment.
  1:45pm KatyaOddio:

So great to hear you, Charlie! Taking the day off on a Thursday has a fun perk.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:46pm Andy in Etobicoke:

Professor Irwin Corey is vastly underrated.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:47pm listener james from westwood:

What?! How did I miss the Prof dying?! No wonder Kliph Nesteroff was posting a lot about him on Twitter.

Thank the snowgods for this fluffy light easy-to-move stuff. My shovel, too, has been threatening to fail through two or three years of still working with its unstable blade.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Parq:

Window seat?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Charlie:

We have three shovels.

And a snowblower...

James at 1:47. 'Fraid so. 102. Would that we all could have such a life.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:55pm Charlie:

Hi Parq!
Great clip, great movie:)
Avatar 1:55pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar 1:59pm still b/p:

A friend is in a local stage production of A&OL right now. Trying to decide if I'll go. Some kind of weird bias. NEVER saw the movie though plenty of such older movies are my favorites, and never saw any of the countless stage productions -- someone's always doing it again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:00pm listener james from westwood:

Danke, Charlie! Stay warm!
  2:01pm KatyaOddio:

Thanks again, Charlie! Cheers!
Avatar 2:01pm Michael:

Well done Charlie. And thanks for the IC. And when shoveling, lift with your legs!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:02pm Charlie:

Thanks for throwing open wide your windows to me today!
