Good evening everyone This evening's show features music that was mostly recorded over 50 years ago, with several other tunes that were released in 2024. The two eras sit comfortably alongside each other. A pleasure to prepare and present for you. Enjoy the show :-)

I remember hearing poetry in Moody Blues songs when growing up —you would hear them on late-night radio.

Possible Bedtime Stories show theme—songs that contain poetry or spoken word. I am sure we listeners could think of some.

Nice idea Shelley, over to you .... :-)

Ok, I’ll start “Ficke Sun (II) The Hour Is Thin—Brian Eno from “The Ship.” And “Lees” by King Kimbit from “Life Lessons Poetically”. King Kimbit is a local Ottawa artist. OK, who else would like to add to the list?

I may not have this correct—I just remember when I was about 10 or 11 hearing David Bowie say something about “Fleas the size of rats….rats the size of cats.”

Melody guy not a word guy... but when I do look up lyrics they always read like free verse poetry.... So I bow to whatever comes up..... 🌹🕊️
