Now I don't know about you, but those tunes put me in the mood for some exotic fun. It's a good time to revive Johnny Yen's Margarita Friday, and it's an even better time to watch the beautiful Betty Howard do her thing by the fountain in a tropical courtyard:
Friends, let's all drink a toast to each other: raise your glass, or your coffee cup, or your bottle of water or what ever--we've just about made it through another week.

can't say I have hear of any of the songs. the video is fun kind looks/sounds like it could be in one of the New Orleans courtyards. Happy Friday
From the tone of this post I'd say someone has had a hard week. I hope your weekend is better.
I'll have a Lazy Bastard, barkeep.
I love Blossom Dearie! Do you have any Julie London? She's brilliant for that great fifties vibe.
Make that two Lazy Bastards!
My my, Betty Howard makes Betty Page look like a girls scout.
I'll have a Coke right now but if you're mixing up Lazy Bastards, count me in! I like any soundtrack that features Esquivel and Yma Sumac.
This makes me feeling like a martini or two. And I don't even like them.
