Tunes For The Troops
 



 
**Artist Showcase**
So...I saw a show on HBO called *Paul Williams Still Alive* & I guess I had forgotten what a talented man he is. I wasn't able to garner much of his collective works but I hope you enjoy what is posted here.

Paul Hamilton Williams, Jr. (born September 19, 1940 is an Academy Award-winning American composer, musician, songwriter, and actor. He is perhaps best known for popular songs performed by a number of acts in the 1970s including Three Dog Night's "An Old Fashioned Love Song", Helen Reddy's "You and Me Against the World", David Bowie's "Fill Your Heart", and the Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays", as well as his contributions to films such as "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born and "Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie. He has also had a variety of high-profile acting roles such as Little Enos Burdette in the highly successful 1977 action-comedy Smokey and the Bandit, and as the villainous Swan in Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise (which Williams also co-scored, receiving an Oscar nomination in the process), as well as television, theater, and voiceover work for animation.

Enjoy the variety of musical selections that the Canteen Deejays provide throughout the thread. Please ping any DJ with your requests for the Troops!


All music is removed on Monday.
Thanks to all the DeeJay's for their time & effort providing entertainment for the Troops!

I like your theme. I posted a couple of Paul Williams items as a stopgap. I hope to be well enough to tackle Stephen Foster next week.

Good evening/morning, Ma.
Yes, the weather has settled down some
but we are heading into another cold front.
Light flurries off and on tomorrow, nothing major.

It’s an honor and a pleasure to play tunes for our awesome Troops and Vets!
I always hope that they find a tune or two to their liking!
:0)
I’ve got to head out, Ma.
My pain is ramping up.
God Bless YOU and all you do for the Troops and for your “kids”
LOL
You’re the BEST, Ma!
