Good Sunday morning, where the birds are singing in the cold sunshine here, greeting the new day. Johnny Cash:

Beethoven. The 5th Symphony, 1st movement (watch the music): and the 4th movement:

More of the Irishman George M Cohan, performed by the Irishman Jimmy Cagney: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrR6czE8sJ0 Love his performance as hoofing? FDR... couldn't find it. Don't print it... it's strictly off the record..

Something from James Horner. Glory: The Perfect Storm: Cocoon: Edited by: casablancalover on Mar 20, 2010 8:25 AM

That's nice.. They don't even look that drunk. Great times in Ireland. Maybe next year in Dublin.

Ennio Morricone composes some of the most beautiful themes in music. He gives us love, passion, empowerment, and even redemption with his musical scores. This is just a sampling... *Cinema Paradiso:* *The Untouchables:* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVsS_Ewsoe4&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUQ4J4OqsCM *The Mission:*

Happy birthday, Wilson Pickett -my favorites: Edited by: casablancalover on Mar 17, 2010 10:38 PM

Most of the Wizard of Oz music I can't post, "rights things".. But my favorite is still there. Just took me a while to find it. Over the Rainbow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0-um0pHTAg Edited by: casablancalover on Mar 16, 2010 8:14 PM

That is excellent, Fred. It's like you were adding to my feature last week on Movie Music too! Loved it! Now, anything you want to add about Red River ? Edited by: casablancalover on Mar 16, 2010 10:41 AM

Something newer for the kids. Yeasayer:

I love this song of theirs, though not the happy drinking song for the day. And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda:

Ah, youth. I love these songs. A happy birthday to Mike Love Beach Boys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E4FRtrD9aQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hay2Wj2zIVk

Come to think of it.. never mentioned in the Irish pubs, only the English ones... Thank you of saving me pretty face!

*Miklos Rosza* has produced some the most identifiable religious themed music. His work on the Epics were some of the best. He, along with Elmer Bernstein, composed some of the most heroic music we know : from King of Kings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PabhBbNQOd0 Ben Hur overture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcZg8nt3J-4 We will visit this on Easter. More then. Back to screenplays that may bring adventure and travel..

I couldn't do it to ya, Sineaste. The 'Boy" music was making me cry -- for my lost youth -- being wasted listening to this stuff. I just didn't think the Rolling Stones song was interesting enough to me. To each his own. Thank you for broadening my horizons.

It's popular at some of the pubs in Mpls/St Paul, where they serve Guinness and Harps. Most call it a black & tan. Still prefer my Bailey's and Kahlua.. >#3 looks like what happened > to the ants in Them! last night.

I wouldn't eat that if you paid me $99.99. I dunno, maybe it's not very pretty, but for 99.99 I would even Chew and Swallow. I'm an enterprising woman. >Think I'll check out The Big Heat. Haven't seen it in a long time. Sweet dreams, to me. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

*Hugo Friedhofer* has credits for Hondo, The Sun Also Rises, and An Affair to Remember. But this soundtrack I love the best of all. I have to give you the entire first ten minutes of the movie. A Masterpiece, Best motion Picture of 1946. The Best Years of Our Lives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHXJW2fwjbk

> {quote:title=sineaste wrote:}{quote} > The Rolling Stones would record a knockoff country song occasionally. > One of the best of these was Far Away Eyes. No, one of the _worst_ was this... So bad it was good, in a alternate universe sort of way. I preferred Homer and Jethro. For that, I am looking up more sugary non-threatening male singers..

Me, I'm holding out for Hail the Conquering Hero tomorrow. Did you ever see Matinee ? It does a better job at those "Them" movies (there's was titled Mant! ) and it has sort of spoiled it for me, unless I can get a group together for live riffing..

Working with you is a little like conversing with a blind date with a delightfully overactive imagination. Have I ever told you yet of my date with a guy with a 14" beard? Looked like ZZ Top. I tried to pretend it wasn't there. You think I'm making this up, don't you? Regrettably, no. Why did I bring this up? Oh yeah, he asked me what was the meaning of a bumper sticker saying, *Who is John Galt?* It will go down as a very strange evening, Ended early, blessedly. > If one can make a movie about that jackass, why not Ted Cassidy? Plus, Ted was > a Dallas, Texas disc jockey when Kennedy was assassinated and interviewed some of the witnesses on the radio. This thing almost writes itself. The best movies do just that. That deep bass voice over the radio. Oh, rapture.. >Scene One: A fifth-grade classroom > where the kids are making fun of a very tall classmate. Insert lame "Boys Life" or "Scholastic News" joke _here_... I wonder what Think and Grin has this month??

Not a two-fer. I am a Bish fan. A big one. Here's another *-less* song. A favorite. Stephen Bishop, Careless: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T50za5gH7AY

I love the 7th Symphony. It was used so well in Immortal Beloved. Thank you. It was a dark, damp here. Most of late winter/early spring is like that. It was a good day to hear that.

I wonder if > that doesn't work for this one forum. Well, I've fallen asleep the two times I've tried to watch Young Cassidy. It's not the movie's fault, I was very tired both times. Is that with Rod Taylor. He is so worth watching. Next time, I arrange to be better rested before hand and maybe a little nudge now and then. I find myself avoiding Angelina's soft puppy too, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
