On The Neon Beat Show 023r3h4rr: Listen Lads and Lass's for our St Partrick' edition of our show as we celebrate the holiday with our usual great faire of standards sauced and pickled with songs to envoke the Emerald Isle.

Then we continue with Louis Armstrong with “Mame” followed by Ella Fitzgerald singing “Only a Paper Moon” with the Delta Rhythm Boys”. Enjoy Roger Whittaker's “New World in the Morning” Then another Irish touch with Bing Crosby singing “An Irish Lullaby” heard in the film “Going My Way.” We'll spin Tony Bennet's “Because of You” and Frank Sinatra with a Rod McKuen song. Listen to instrumentals with Henry Mancini's “The Pink Panther theme” and John Barry's Orchestra with Toots Thielemans doing the theme from Midnight Cowboy. Hear songs by the great period groups like The Cascades and The Platters. More from Patti Page, Kay Starr, and Patsy Cline's “Walking After Midnight”. Enjoy a laugh as we team up Bing Crosby with Bob Hope with “Put er There Pal” from one of the “road movies.” And we close with a soulful version of “Danny Boy” sung by the great Irish tenor, “Frank Patterson.
