HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! I LIKE TO LIVE IN AMERICA!

HHHHEEEEEYYYYYY YYYOOOOOOOUUUUUU GGGGUUUUUYYYYSSSS!!!!! HAVE A HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! The Fourth of July pinup above is Rita Moreno of The Electric Company and West Side Story. One of the songs she sang in West Side Story was "America." It was covered by the British prog rock band The Nice in the late 60s, as an instrumental. The keyboardist with that group was Keith Emerson. Here is video of him preforming it with Paul Schaffer on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1986.

David Letterman Christmas Record Collection

Since I'm upsetting cranky Ozarkers today, I thought I would give everyone a clip of David Letterman and his Christmas records. Supposedly, Ozarkers hate David Letterman.

THIS IS WHAT PAUL SHAFFER HAS ALWAYS TOLD US ABOUT

Since the 80s, it has been a tradition on David Letterman's shows for Paul Shaffer to tell the story of how he was music director on The Sonny & Cher Christmas Special. He has always performed a funny imitation of Cher singing "Oh Holy Night." Here is the whole closing medley of Christmas carols including Cher singing "Oh Holy Night." Paul has obviously exaggerated how she performed this song for comedy effect. The real shocker here is William Conrad singing. WOW!
