^^^ RIP Dan McCafferty - unique voice.......

… Over the past few years
To the traditional sounds of the English summer
The drone of lawnmowers
The smack of leather on willow

… Has been added a new noise
What were the skies like when you were young?
They went on forever and they, when I, we lived in Arizona
And the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them and, er
They were long and clear and

… There were lots of stars at night
And, er, when it would rain it would all turn, it, they were beautiful
The most beautiful skies, as a matter of fact
Uh, the sunsets were
Purple and red and yellow and on fire
And the clouds would catch the colors everywhere.....

Performed by The Orb, vocalisation by Rickie Lee Jones

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow too

From the Hotel Sheets in downtown Plunketville, the Comptikan Broadcasting Company presents the music of Pete DeAngelis and His Loyal Plunketvillevanians. Here in the beautiful gold, yellow, copper, steel, iron ballroom at the Hotel Sheets in downtown Plunketville, overlooking the uptown section of downtown Pottstown. Stay with us, won't you, and enjoy the sweetest music this side of the Monongahela River. One mile high, two and a half blocks from the center of old New Orleans. Ah, there's gaiety, merriment and dancing in the Hotel Sheets nightly. Now to get things underway, Pete and His Loyal Banditos play a medley of old standard favorites commencing with:-

Your Red Scarf Matches Your Eyes,
Close Cover Before Striking,
Your Father Had The Shipfitter Blues,
And Loving You Has Made Me Bananas.

This beautiful picture and lovely lyric portrayed vocally by Dickie Ryan.

Oh, your red scarf matches your eyes........

When I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted
I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise
Till the end of time
We'll always be together
And our love will never die

So, here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now, I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause I see my whole world
I see only you

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering

as love takes a train
Summer breeze and brilliant light
Only love she sees, he controls on love
Love sails to a new life

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering

Only love she sees, he controls on love
Life mirrors a cure, everything is possible
With promises, everything is possible, no!

I promised you a miracle.....

But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
'Cause I found you

I searched for love before
For a love that I thought I couldn't find
I searched day in and day out
For the one that was mine all mine

I played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came into my life and you changed it
Cause I know what I want and where it's at Yeah

I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'

My sun rises on your face
When I see that certain glow
But picture that's so bright you're my delight
And that's why I love you so

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness, you open wide

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you cause you're you...
