Harmonica - Blue Skies - Irving Berlin
( visit http://www.12freemusic.com for more... )
Please comment on my videos.
Blue Skies by Irving Berlin played on chromatic harmonica.
"Blue Skies" is a popular song, written by Irving Berlin.
Here are the lyrics:
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Every day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but theyre not gray anymore
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When youre in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it cant be true
I should smile, thats exactly what I do
History
The song was composed in 1926 as a last minute addition to the Rodgers and Hart musical, Betsy. Although the show only ran for 39 performances, "Blue Skies" was an instant success, with audiences on opening night demanding 28 encores of the piece from star, Belle Baker. During the final repetition, Baker forgot her lyrics, prompting Berlin to sing them from his seat in the front row.
In 1927, the music was published and Ben Selvin's recorded version was a #1 hit. That same year, it became the first song to be featured in a talkie, when Al Jolson performed it in The Jazz Singer. 1946 was also a notable year for the song, with a Bing Crosby/Fred Astaire film taking its title, and two recorded versions by Count Basie and Benny Goodman reaching #8 and #9 on the pop charts, respectively. Crossing genres, Willie Nelson's recording of "Blue Skies" was a #1 country music hit in 1978.

This is the first footage filmed on the bike. It's comprised of a ride down Resler Drive extension, a gently curving sapling lined road. Some nice sky shots are visible and I mess with some of WinDVD Creator's filters.

Strange Light in the Sky
This video was taken around 10:38pm in Louisiana. The trees blocked part of the light. It appeared to be a sideways red crescent moon descending quickly in the night sky. The wind was eerily still. The noise you hear in the video is my breathing, and the camera making noise. The animals were silent at first before I started this video. There was an odd noise in the distance behind us, as we watched this sight before us. After what seemed like quite a while, the cats started coming out, the dogs started barking and whining, and we could hear dogs and coyotes in the distance. Eventually, the light disappeared completely out of sight. We searched the sky and saw the stars. But, the moon was no where to be seen. I posted a couple of pictures in my Flickr site. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mycatranch/2191199789/ and also a zoomed in photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/mycatranch/2191199795/in/photostream/

How Great Thou Art
In northern latitudes, Aurora borealis (or The Northern Lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas, often appears as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the sun was rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the North sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The ultimate energy source of the aurora is the solar wind flowing past the Earth. The Cree call this phenomenon the Dance of the Spirits. Enjoy !

subtropical skies
a hot, but clear early evening, here in Tallahassee, florida. The temp might be 90 degrees, but look at this utterly clear air and sky.
Would you dare to wonder what the dewpoint is?! Probably near 75 degrees.

Pokemon Emerald: Sky Pillar
It's time to get the final 'ancient' pokemon! That's right, Rayquaza!
To get Rayquaza, beat the Elite 4 and head out to the Sky Pillar which is on Route 131. You need the Mach Bike to get to the top.
I didn't show the part where I was getting up, sorry. It would just take too long.
