Beatles-again-and a new RAY CHARLES CD!!
Last night, after hearing from the Beatles fans and friends from the music forum, and getting caught up in their excitement,(The BeatleFest this week end) I wanted to play some Beatles, once again! My choice to start was, 'please Please Me' and ending with 'A Hard Day's Night!'
Had a great night of music listening! :)
Today on my shopping outing I bought a CD of the late, great, Ray Charles! It's called 'The Very Best of Ray Charles' a greatest hits collection!
I have always liked the music of Ray Charles, but had none of his cds. I was so happy to find this today and at a very affordable price, too!
Lol- was tempted to buy an extra or two for gifts, but didn't!
I hope to find the time to have a listen of this, maybe tonight! I haven't heard Ray Charles in a long while, except occasionally, on the radio! It will be fun getting into a listen of his music!
I also bought plants for my flower garden (mom's garden!)...and some tomato plants ; the little cherry ones , which I will grow in a big container. Will work on all that tomorrow! I want to get some Bell Peppers too, maybe next week I can do that!
So....tho I am tired and have my house chores yet to do, I feel the day was not a total waste-as they often are for me!!
:) I have taken a small step toward getting my garden going!!
This weekend we will have the whole family up for a B'Day celebration! Charles (Gabbo) will be 71 on April 1st!
Yep! April Fool's Day!! :)
It will be good to all be together again!

I love the Beatles. I wish they were still around and would tour again. I'd pay big bucks for that concert!
Have you seen the movie Ray? I'd forgotten how good his music was until I saw the movie. Gonna have to get me that CD too.
Doug,
Oh, yes, The Beatles gave us So Much great music!
The past year I have bought
almost all of their CDs and have had the greatest time getting into their music...from the beginning- right through until 'The End!':)
I would love to see Paul McCartney in concert, but from what I understand, his conderts are priced out of my reach!!
Oh well, we have the music, anyway!!
As for Ray- no I haven't seen the movie but hope I can soon!
Ray Charles was quite a talented and unique performer!
Haven't had a chance to play the new CD yet.

Ooops! Doug,
Sorry for that typo!
Guess I got over-excited talking about Paul! :)
( Conderts= concerts )

I still have a record album of Ray Charles, used to listen to him and cry in my coke - never liked beer very much, even in my wild days. :) Now you can say that you know someone else with a birthday on April 1st - me!! The first thing my older sister said when I was born was "Momma, is he gonna be a little fool." I'll let someone else comment on that. ec
Hi June ~~ I hope you got your new plants into your garden. Funny I have not long pulled out my tomato plants, and here you are planting them. I like the cherry ones too.
I will have to see "Ray" one of these days..I loved "Walk the Line" on Johnny
Cash's life. Loved it.
Thanks for your comment ~ I liked the
bagpipe joke too. Cheers, Merle.
:)
...so you are an April 1st. birthday boy too!
(I won't say April Fool baby because, like my husband, you don't appear to be a 'fool' at all!!)
Cute - what your sister said, tho!
Happy birthday to you. I guess you'll be celebrating at the same time we are!
I played my Ray Charles last night! It was very, hearing him again!

Hi Merle,
I hope to get to my gardening chores today! ...at least get those tomatoes planted.
I got the movie about Johnny Cash , for a gift for my husband,s birthday- so we'll see it soon! Cash was becoming popular about the time Charles and I were dating, so we had a lot of his music in the early days.
I was sad to hear recently that Buck Owens had passed away. I never was a huge fan of his (or country music,in general) still, there's no denying Buck Owens gave a lot to the music world!
June
