Old Love Songs<\/a><\/p>\n

On the am 740 radio in Toronto, Canada, I have heard a guy sing so beautifully. I had never heard of him before. His name is Keith Berry, from Ontario, Canada. I think they said he has passed away now, but his son is handling his music. He has such a nice mellow voice, and such nice soothing music. One of the songs I have heard is about the old lamplighter, and another song about a woman telling a little seagull to look after husband going out to sea. His voice is one of the richest voices I have ever heard. Unfortunately I have not found him on the Internet. So here are the Browns doing the honors.<\/p>\n

Blue Spanish Eyes<\/a><\/p>\n

About twenty years ago I heard Al Martino for the first time. He was singing: I love you because. I had heard that song by Jim Reeves and Elvis Presley when I was young, but I really love the way Al Martino does it. I love that high harmony that those ladies sing. That is so special. I also love his version of Blue Spanish Eyes. It is sad to hear he passed away recently.<\/p>\n

Houston<\/a><\/p>\n

Dean Martin is a real smooth singer. I guess his most famous song is: Ev\u2019rybody loves somebody sometimes. He seems such a laid back easy going kind of a person. One of his trademarks is that he is supposed to be half drunk all the time. I heard recently that he actually had apple juice in his glass when he performed with Frank Sinatra. I wasn\u2019t in America when his TV show was on, but I have seen Regis advertising the sale of them on TV, and they look very entertaining. All the famous old-timer\u2019s on one show.<\/p>\n

Wayward wind<\/a><\/p>\n

This song by Frank Ifield was a big hit when I was a kid. Our city had a train station that once boasted the longest train station in the world, or something like that. Bulawayo, Rhodesia. We often traveled with the train, and it always felt so exciting.<\/p>\n

Harbor lights<\/a><\/p>\n

Years ago I sang and played with an old timers band, and this is one of the songs they did. I like the power point of Marty Robbins, so I have put this version in.<\/p>\n

Jamaica Farewell<\/a><\/p>\n

I heard this song originally by Harry Belafonte, but I like the power point presentation by Marty Robbins. This is one of my favorite love songs when I play the keyboard, with the fancy beats.<\/p>\n

Cruising down the river<\/a><\/p>\n

I have just found this song, so I must add it on here. It brings back memories of Uvongo (in Natal) where we used to go on holiday. Above the falls, people would be cruising in their boats.<\/p>\n
