A random day at the Glenwood Irving Station, this is pointless,....
My DVD at http://dvd.12FREEMUSIC.com ( visit http://www.12freemusic.com for more... ) Please comment on my videos. Blue Skies by Irving Berlin played on chromatic harmonica. If you play the harmonica and have videos on YouTube then join the Harmonica Group: http://www.youtube.com/group/harmonica "Blue Skies" is a popular song, written by Irving Berlin. Here are the lyrics: I was blue, just as blue as I could be Every day was a cloudy day for me Then good luck came a-knocking at my door Skies were gray but theyre not gray anymore Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When youre in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on I should care if the wind blows east or west I should fret if the worst looks like the best I should mind if they say it cant be true I should smile, thats exactly what I do History The song was composed in 1926 as a last minute addition to the Rodgers and Hart musical, Betsy. Although the show only ran for 39 performances, "Blue Skies" was an instant success, with audiences on opening night demanding 28 encores of the piece from star, Belle Baker. During the final repetition, Baker forgot her lyrics, prompting Berlin to sing them from his seat in the front row. In 1927, the music was published and Ben Selvin's recorded version was a #1 hit. That same year, it became the first song to be featured in a talkie, when Al Jolson performed it in The Jazz Singer. 1946 was also a notable year for the song, with a Bing Crosby/Fred Astaire film taking its title, and two recorded versions by Count Basie and Benny Goodman reaching #8 and #9 on the pop charts, respectively. Crossing genres, Willie Nelson's recording of "Blue Skies" was a #1 country music hit in 1978.

Labeled "Warren Haynes and Friends", the Allman Bros band came out to rock at this club gig on their day off from the March Beacon run with Come and Go Blues and Jessica. I shot this from roughly the 5th 'row'. Derek and Warren smoke!
http://www.artistopia.com/hessionsession One thing that Jim has always enjoyed is taking music of the great American songbook era and improvising a piano solo that could extend anywhere from 5-20 plus choruses without repeating a musical idea. This cut was selected from two back-to-back takes that were completely different. An amusing idea was added at the end of this take when the recording engineer shouted:"Puttin' On the Ritz" in classic Peter Boyle style(as the monster) from Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein".

The second part of David Irving's appearance on Late Night Irish TV after Irving was dis-invited from attending the 10 March 2008 University College Cork debate: "That this house believes free speech should be free from restraint".
Mark Bittner and Judy Irving came to New York on May 5th, 2007, to introduce public showings of their classic film, Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. BrooklynParrots.com interviewed them briefly about the wild parrots of NYC. Their film will have its television premiere on May 29th on PBS at 9 PM (check your local listings for precise airtime at your local PBS affiliate).
The English Centre of International PEN reviewed the film approvingly: THE final interview, and arguably the most controversial, was with the historian David Irving. While he still vehemently denies accusations of racism, anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, Irving conceded that he had voiced "doubts and scepticism" about Auschwitz during a speech he had given in Austria in 1989. He was arrested for attempting to reactivate the Nazi party and in trial admitted that he had denied that Nazi Germany had killed millions of Jews. In February 2006, he was sentenced to three years in prison. While in no way condoning Irving's position on the Holocaust, English PEN deplored the court's decision. "It should not be a crime in a free society to publish opinion, however poorly dressed up as fact," PEN said in a statement. "It is more important than ever that democracies deal with contentious issues through debate and ridicule rather than through suppression by law." Similarly, Irving contended that everyone should be given a voice, no matter how contentious their opinion. "I want to visit a free Germany where everyone is free to say what they want and that every opinion can be freely held up and exposed either to acclaim or ridicule," he said. "As soon as you start saying this opinion is acceptable and that option isn't acceptable then you are degrading society, and society is losing in the long run." While Bloomstein conceded that Irving "represents something immensely troubling" he was adamant that "we have to take these people on [] Irving makes us think about the limits."

Figured if anyone should upload this BEE-auty of a cartoon it should really be me, so here it is, after all, if I didn't it would be some kind of CAT-astrophe.
