However, despite singing at a Mulroney offspring wedding ............... eh does seem to be a genuinely nice person!


Mack the Knife would not be his sort of song though


........ what's the betting it was requested by the Mulroney or offspring???

Michael Buble was over here in the UK in December...he does come across as a really nice guy and a pretty good crooner at that...and yes I have 2 of his albums.

Nobody could sing Mack the Knife like Bobby Darin...swooon....oops showing my age lol.

Nite nite...off up the dancers!

Bobby Darin sings Mack the Knife ... and Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weill (who wrote it) ... and I ... reach for the barf bag. ;)

Seldom has a musical work been so butchered and betrayed!

Click on her name and send her a message with the details and she will be happy to do the lookup for you.

Deb ... I believe that makes you .................. old.

Easier to stick your tongue out if you remove the false teeth? ;)

Bruce Cockburn is a good Central Canadian, so I'll happily lay claim to him!

Except for that &%$# lions song.

Did you listen to Mama just wants to Barrelhouse??

Michael Bublé eat your heart out.

Me old?
I still feel like I'm in my 20's. I can still party with the best of them :)

I too don't like that $%& Lion song. Did he ever find them? All that wondering can't be good for you. I think we are talking about the same song.

*Edit - You forgot another hometown boy, Brian Adams. Now I must say I like his music.

Welcome, Footie. When No.2 was living in Canada c1970 and spending time picking and singing with his pals, somebody brought home Bruce Cockburn's first album. Their collective reaction was: anybody wanna buy a guitar?

With Bruce playing it, nobody else needed to bother.

"Sunwheel Dance" is his virtuoso guitar bit -- unfortunately not to be found at youtube. Many others have been brave enough to attempt it and post their efforts there, though. ;)



Diizzi -- there's been another mention of Gerry Rafferty / Baker Street
