Season 332: The Alphabet

I've managed to bank 9 songs up today in a session so just the mammoth task of downloading them on YT now grrrrrrr
 


28 amazing songs so far. I honestly did not expect anyone to "go for it." This is great! Keep 'em coming!
 
I'm gonna take you back to the early eighties. Does someone remember Christopher Cross? Arthur's Theme from the movie Arthur?
 
This is an old song from the Burl Ives Songbook, but I found on a website where it was attributed to someone, so I guess it's not strictly traditional. Apparently it was a very popular song in the late 1800s/early 1900s. There is a town in south Texas named Ben Bolt after this song.

There is also a town named Alice that is only about 10 miles north of Ben Bolt. However, Alice was named after the daughter of the founder of the King Ranch. It was founded some 20-odd years earlier than Ben Bolt, so perhaps the name of Alice also influenced the naming of Ben Bolt. Who knows?

 
Okay - here’s my first - lovely oldie by the Everly Brothers:

 
Well here's my first few of this busking marathon .........
