thank u

[ErnestStation]

High ho !

[xevcosmo]

Very nice to hear the original, Rudy was a class act! Sammy Kaye probably has the best cover of this wonderful song. Great posting!

[Bigband78]

@xevcosmo ,I agree that Sammy Kaye had the BIG hit of Harbor Lights.My friend was a pallbearer at Sammy's funeral.

[Shabannie]

I enjoyed this!

"Comment on the video," well--no. But the vocalist: isn't it a superb experience to listen to someone who actually can carry a tune? and yes, that there are such things as tunes. These days, one almost tends to forget that popular music actually existed. By the way, I bought the same phonograph record on eBay.

[Bigband78]

I have never bought or sold anything on Ebay.

[MsCasati]

absolutely wonderful videos you got there !! thanks a lot !!

[Bigband78]

I think "The Ripper" got him.

[Corrie121]

Great rendition.

Do you think it will have brought a wee tear to fatsfan's eye?. I'm trying my best to restrain mine!

Thanks for sharing.

[fatsfan70]

Tears? Well maybe, because there was too much full moon for me and my pals to be out shipwrecking. And because I was alive when Rudy recorded this.

[Bigband78]

@fatsfan70 ,Michael,I was just a gleam in my fathers eyes when Rudy recorded this.

[cvwtzhaar]

never heard this rendition,ive always been familiar with the Sammy Kaye and Guy lombardo versons

[Bigband78]

I prefer the earlier Rudy ballads.

[Sharon1944]

Keep 'em coming Lou! We love your stuff!

[Bigband78]

I will,Sharon.

[Masquerade03]

Evocative and inspired as only Rudy could be. Thanks Lou.

[Bigband78]

Thanks for listening

[idasynco]

Lou, that crying moon near the end is so dramatic. I've known the melody for a long time, but never knew the name and that it was lyrical as well. Thx for the posting, though it be a little drippy, I still enjoyed it.

[bostonblakie]

That crying moon straight out of an Andy Warhol dreamscape.

[Bigband78]

Warhol painted Campell's soup cans.

[Bigband78]

Did it make you cry?I saw the tears.

[bill3murr]

good to see you back....it sounds good and looks good....thanks for the great music and visuals. this song brings back a lot of fine memories....nice.

[Bigband78]

Some of these songs are repeats,Bill

[Bigband78]

You,re a good guy ,Bill.We hope to keep bringing this old music back.Why doesn't Warner remove that garbage hip-hop and Rap?

[ginnykaren]

I was just enjoying this again and I couldn't help but comment back on your reply to Bill about the garbage hip-hop and rap. There is a lot of other horrible stuff on too that isn't taken down.

All we want to do is bring a little joy and beauty to the viewers. It's a sad commentary on this current world that only the bad seem to survive and prosper.

Just needed to say that because this is exactly what I have been thinking all along.

[Bigband78]

I just got on and I would spend 3 hours answering 48 comments(Stress).I want to go visit my uncle.You are right about this.

This is the cleanest part of YT with no filth and yet we are being abused by Warner by uploading 80 year old music.

[billchew450]

@Bigband78 You mean they threw that copyright shit at you over RUDY VALLEE?

[ginnykaren]

Thank You for posting this. I loved it so very much and if Mom was still here she would have been so happy to see this.

The picture of the lighthouse blew me away because she loved lighthouses. How appropriate.

5***** and of course a favorite.

[Bigband78]

Ok,this is for your mom.I should have put more lighthouses in it.

[ginnykaren]

It is beautiful just the way it is and your friendship is one of my greatest blessings.

[Bigband78]

Thanks Ginny for your support.I checked on Patrick's Channel and you were right.Hard to believe.

[ginnykaren]

I know isn't it? He had so many beautiful songs too and when I think of all the research and time spent on them well it is appalling.

Talk to you later :)
