 Yes BG, some participants here tend to succeed in bringing things to a dead end and, indeed, are not perturbed by it, as it seems!

To move things along, it looks like a young Johnny Mathis.

You git it Dicko. Easy one for us ol' timers !!!

John Royce Mathis (born September 30, 1935) is an American singer. Starting his career with singles of standard music, Mathis is one of the best-selling recording artists of the 20th century[2][3] and became highly popular as an album artist, with several of his albums achieving gold or platinum status and 73 making the Billboard charts.

Mathis has received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for three recordings. Although frequently described as a romantic singer, his discography includes traditional pop, Latin American, soul, rhythm and blues, show tunes, Tin Pan Alley, soft rock, blues, country music, and even a few disco songs for his album Mathis Magic in 1979. Mathis has also recorded seven albums of Christmas music. In a 1968 interview, he cited Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby among his musical influences

May 19, 2025 · Mathis' career lasted for 70 years, and he finally played his final show on Sunday night in New Jersey. Johnny Mathis announced his retirement last month.

 I would BG but the same delays will just occur again. I would like to know why those that eagerly participate here won't have their turn when due. I will pass and see how things flow from here. The same is occurring at the other similar site on the Forum.
