  overtheedge:

  Here is an EC version . I saw him do this song in Toronto. Amazing is the only word that comes to mind. I think you will agree. Enjoy.

  Just saw the clip, Edge ... really nice!

  I probably have 40 clips of artists that have performed this song ... I'd have to put EC's in the top 10.

  31 March,

  Tributes:

   

  • musician/composer Herb Alpert is 79 today
  • actor Christopher Walken is 71 (quite the dancer as you'll see in the video below)

   

  Notables:

   

  • Composer Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809)
  • The inventor of the internet (in his mind anyway) ... Al Gore is 66
  • Civil Rights Leader Cesar Chavez (1927 - 1993)

   

  Actors/Actresses:

   

  • Ewan McGregor is 43
  • Shirley Jones is 80
  • Richard Chamberlain is 80
  • Tony Cox is 56
  • Gabe Kaplain is 69

   

  Speaking of actors/actresses ... Christopher Walken shows his stuff in this video ... dancing isn't the requirement it once was in the acting industry ... 

  Herb Alpert ... partner of A & M records, jazz musician, singer/vocalist and philanthropist ... had several hits in the 60's and 70's with his band "The Tijuana Brass"  ... I could have chosen several tunes, but felt this #1 hit of his shows his vocal prowess ..

  .

  Have a wonderful ("out like a lamb") day!

  Well Don, yes, I do. I was taught that if you can't say something nice about someone, say nothing at all. Being simply human, I occasionally screw it up...however, on this head, my lips are sealed. LOL
