A Postcard A Day - Friday 19 Sept Second Part plus funnies

Hello lovely peeps, I didn't have a chance to finish my blogpost or give you some funnies as Blogger wouldn't let me add anything, so here is part two:

Three really interesting stamps. On the left is Allen Toussaint (Whom I didn't know). Wikipedia to the rescue:

Allen Richard Toussaint (January 14, 1938 – November 10, 2015) was an American musician, songwriter, arranger, and record producer. He was an influential figure in New Orleans rhythm and blues from the 1950s to the end of the century, described as "one of popular music's great backroom figures." Many musicians recorded Toussaint's compositions. He was a producer for hundreds of recordings: the best known are "Right Place, Wrong Time", by longtime friend Dr. John, and "Lady Marmalade" by Labelle.

The middle stamp has a book theme and it features the children's bed time story Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown.(Published 3 September 1947) 

This gentle bedtime story, which has lulled generations of children to sleep, is the perfect first book to share at bedtime. In a great green room a little bunny is tucked up snugly and safely in bed and is getting ready to say goodnight to all the familiar things in his room, one by one. Margaret Wise Brown's comforting, rhythmical text accompanied by the warmth of Clement Hurd's classic mid-century illustrations make GOODNIGHT MOON a timeless picture book, which is known and loved around the world.

I read somewhere that the book was criticised at some point because it wasn't educational enough...

Then the stamp on the right features a singer that needs no introduction for those of us of a certain age. It is Pete Seeger of course.

(Here pictured with Bruce Springsteen).

Wikipedia writes:

Peter Seeger (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and social activist. He wrote songs like 'Where have all the flowers gone' and 'If I had a Hammer', and 'Turn, turn, turn', as well as 'We shall overcome'. 

I have had a lot of smiles this week but I'm going to finish here and not tempt fate anymore as Blogger seems to be behaving itself at the mo....

So have a lovely weekend all of you,

Keep smiling!
