Y YELLOW BIRD - I always thought was a song sang by the Sandpipers - but can't find it anywhere. Although in the early 60's Lawrence Welk and His Orchestra had it on an album.

I once had a yellow bird cocktail - it had rum and lime in it.

The Mills Brothers had a hit with it but I think my favourite version is by Kingston Trio;

Only song by The Sandpipers I remember was Guantanamera.

Mike, have you got a link for the hummingbird track. I had a vague idea there was a track of that name but when I searched I could only find videos of the bird singing!

Another finished.

Hummingbird track - just found it on YouTube. Go to Google, type in Xantus's Hummingbird by Flowerhouse. (I made slight mistake in the original spelling- apologies).
