Posted on March 25, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1957, the #CommonMarket (the forerunner to the #EU) was created. A long time No. 1 at the start of the year was by #GuyMitchell #Singing #Feelgood

Singing the Blues

Well, I never felt more like singing the blues
‘Cause I never thought
That I’d ever lose, your love dear
Why did you do me this wayWell, I never felt more like crying all night
‘Cause everything’s wrong
And nothing is right, without you
You got me singing the bluesWell, the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone out from my mind
There’s nothing left for me to do
But cry-y-y over you

Well, I never felt more like running away
But why should I go
‘Cause I couldn’t stay, without you
You got me singing the blues.

[Instrumental]

I never felt more like singing the blues
‘Cause I never thought
That I’d ever lose, your love dear
Why did you do me this way

Well, I never felt more like crying all night
‘Cause everything’s wrong
And nothing is right, without you
You got me singing the blues

Well the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone out from my mind
There’s nothing left for me to do
But cry-y-y over you

Well, I never felt more, like running away
But why should I go
‘Cause I couldn’t stay, without you
You got me singing the blues…

March 23rd – “Titanic” wins 11 Academy Awards – “My heart will go on”

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1998 #Titanic won 11 #AcademyAwards. Here is the theme song #Singing #Feelgood

My heart will go on

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to.
In my life we’ll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You’re here, there’s nothing to fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

March 22nd – Stephen Sondheim born – “Send in the clowns”

Posted on March 22, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1930, the great songwriter Stephen #Sondheim was born. Here is a song from “A little night music” #Singing #Feelgood

Send in the clowns

Isn’t it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clownsIsn’t it bliss? Don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around and one who can’t move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines
Nobody’s there

Don’t you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you’d want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don’t bother they’re here

Isn’t it rich? Isn’t it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

Consider yourself at home

[DODGER (spoken)]
So, Oliver Twist, you’re coming with me.[OLIVER (spoken)]
Are you sure Mr. Fagin won’t mind?

[DODGER (spoken)]
Mind?!

Consider yourself at home
Consider youself one of the family
We’ve taken to you so strong
It’s clear we’re going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn’t a lot to spare
Who cares?..What ever we’ve got, we share!

If it should chance to be
We should see
Some harder days
Empty larder days
Why grouse?
Always-a-chance we’ll meet
Somebody
To foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself
One of us!

Consider yourself…

Only it’s wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord omes to call!

The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn’t be long till he was with me, yeah me
And I could tell it wouldn’t be long till he was with me, yeah meSinging, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!

He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
But that don’t matter, he said, ’cause it’s all the same
He said, “Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?”
And next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me
Next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me

Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!

He said, “Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?”
Next we’re moving on, he was with me, yeah me
And we’ll be moving on and singing that same old song, yeah with me

March 19th – Elvis makes down payment on Graceland – “Green, green grass of home”

Posted on March 19, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1957, #Elvis put a down payment of $1000 on #Graceland (which cost $102k). #Singing #Feelgood

Green, green grass of home

The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of homeYes, they’ll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there’s an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I’ll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin’
There’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre
Arm and arm we’ll walk at daybreak
Again I’ll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they’ll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

In AD461 #StPatrick died. Here is a song by the Irish band #Boyzone, just for him

Love will save the day

Cheers to the broken hearts
To the ones that loved, the ones that helped the losing cards
Here’s to the sweet unknown
To the tales untold that the night unfold in the stars abovePass around the bottle and tell me your troubles
And la la la la la la love will save the day
Yeah, pass around the bottle, and I’ll share your troubles
And la la la la la la love will save the day

With the ones to try to find a way
(Ohh…) Gonna burn the brightest
Gonna watch the night go up in flames
Pass around the bottle, and we’ll share your troubles
Sing la la la la la la love will save the day

Friends, come and gather ’round
Throw your hands up high to the silent sky where the answers found
Let laughter fill the air
Forget your worries, carry on without a care

Pass around the bottle, and I’ll share your troubles
And la la la la la la love will save the day

(Ohh…) With the undecided
With the ones to try to find a way
(Ohh…) Gonna burn the brightest
Gonna watch the night go up in flames

Let me ease your heavy heart and fill it up with gold
Let the stormy seas depart and let me guide you home

Pass around the bottle, and we’ll share our troubles
And la la la la la la love will save the day

(Ohh…) With the undecided
With the ones to try to find a way
(Ohh…) Gonna burn the brightest
Gonna watch the night go up in flames

Pass around the bottle, and we’ll share your troubles
Sing la la la la la la love will save the day
Pass around the bottle, and we’ll share our troubles
Sing la la la la la la love will save the day

Posted on March 16, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Today’s forecast is great. Dust off your #Oklahoma DVD and sing! #feelgood #singing

Oh, what a beautiful morning

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elaphant’s eye
And it looks like it’s climbing clear up to the skyOh what a beautiful mornin’
Oh what a beautiful day
I’ve got a beautiful feelin’
Everything’s going my way

All the cattle are standing like statues
All the cattle are standing like statues
They don’t turn their heads as they see me ride by
But a little brown maverick is winkin’ her eye

Oh what a beautiful mornin’
Oh what a beautiful day
I’ve got a beautiful feeling
Everything’s going my way

All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don’t miss a tree
And an old weepin’ willer is laughin’ at me!

Oh what a beautiful mornin’
Oh what a beautiful day
I’ve got a beautiful feeling
Everything’s going my way
Oh what a beautiful day
