Just yesterday someone on another site posted a Black Keys song and I said that even though they are not in my collection I have never heard a song from them I didn't like. You found one for me.

What? Dislike? That's Rock-a-Billy baby.

Oh Dear. THIS is Rock-A-Billy:

Okay, your Rock-a-billy was yesteryear, the last century, whereas mine is a bit more modern.

Agree. But then, I don't do modern. Oh well.

Kovacs- My Love

Now that, without the visual, could have been popular in the late 1940s early 1950s.

Sad ballad, good instrumental support. Singer does a great job.

I actually stopped listening to modern music in the late 1970s. All popular forms were going in directions I didn't care for.

I ran into a song yesterday while working with my music collection that you may have heard before:

She is frickin' fantastic and she sucked you right into her modern web, didn't she?

Well, no, I don't believe I will admit to being sucked in. But regardless, I like the voice and she does a great job with the song.

So I looked her up just now. A Hungarian. No wonder such a great job with the song and style. I doubt any American could do that today.

And I agree, she is fantastic. I may look for more of her work later. Could be an addition to my "International" category of my music collection.

No, I have never heard of that artist or song before and for a moment thought I was watching the Lawrence Welk Show.

Some serious flashbacks were happening.

I was pleased to hear that. You are closer to my age than I had thought.

This is my favorite non-American song:

Written by an Italian guy in memory of his Cuban girl friend he had while visiting Cuba.

Definitely a classic that tune.

At one time it was the most recorded song of all time. I don't know if that record still stands.

This is my favorite Korean song:
