WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Any time a different person comes on the radio, it receives a bump. So it is not necessary for regulars to bump it.

Good evening, WA2K, and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.

Tonight let's listen to two singers who went to college here in the Hub.

First, Tracy Chapman. Originally from Cleveland, she graduated from Tufts.



Tracy Chapman -- Fast Car

Tracy started out as street singer in Harvard Square.

Melissa Etheridge attended the Berklee School of Music, but dropped out.
She seems to have done OK in spite of that,


Melissa Etheridge -- I'm The Only One

Racing metaphors applied to politics. Again, some things never change.

Good morning to all of you here in our Florida radio station.

Latin George, I loved those two songs by Tracy and Melissa.

izz with a y, now I understand about the multiple meanings of race:

One could have to do with ethnicity, the other as in horse race, and the political meaning of competition.

edgar, It used to be that a person could thumb up the number regardless of new faces or old. That is no longer true here. Bumping used to do with band width, etc.

Inspired by our Latin george's Melissa song, I found this one by "the boss".

Bonjour tout le monde!

tsasr, Welcome back my long time friend. As you know, I love SIR Elton John, and that performance in London was fantastic.

Hmmm, wonder if Robert should have said, "Go not GENTLY into that good night?"

Somehow, that harp reminded me of Nero playing his harp. Also love this guy.

Good morning. I appreciate the Boss, Bobby and Peter Ustinov, letty.

Doris Day

edgar/Mark, Thanks for your comments and personal acknowledgement. I had no idea that Doris Day did that one based on a poem by Alexander Pope. She did a great job. As you know, I remember it best by Elvis.

I was thinking of Just Brook today and we discussed kissing our dogs, and it reminded me of my first dog that I named sugar.

Like swans, American Eskimo dogs mate for life.

Now, Swans:

I read the book Lost Horizon and the only thing that I recall was the fact that it was supposed to be a place where one never grew old. Anyone out there ever read it? Here's what I located:

Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. Hilton describes Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. It was based on Chinese myths.

Here's the trailer to the movie:

Finally heard from my older sister, and she told me that she and I sang Sisters
at a theater had stage performances. Don't remember one thing about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSmOqyHThkE

I saw that movie long ago.
Not sure I have heard Sisters before.

Snakes Hips

I love that golden oldie, edgar/Mark.

That gal with the low voices in Sisters must have been me.

I tried to find Sabu singing I Want to Be a Sailor but no luck.

Here are two versions of The Thief of Bagdad.

I know those thief of Baghdads, letty.

A tender Italian song

You know, edgar/Mark It's the golden oldie movies that are the best any more. Lou doing Shud Uppa Your Face was also done by Harry. That's the one I thought was funny.

When I was a kid I had, a music box. I loved them. Then my older sister's husband, gave me a new one.

Remember this? UhOh. I may have lost it. Hope not, dear friend:

Music Box Dancer is a good one.

Three talented women sing Dylan

I Shall Be Released by that trio was great, edgar/mark and thanks for your comment on the music box gal.

Going to say Good late afternoon now with a birthday man, Patrick Henry: quote: "Give Me Liberty or Give me Death." Thomas Jefferson came after him, and as you know, he was from UVA.

Speaking of liberty, Here is Matt Monroe singing about this lion:

Elsa (c. January 1956 – January 24, 1961) was a Kenya lioness raised (along with her sisters "Big One" and "Lustica") by game warden George Adamson and his wife Joy Adamson after they were orphaned, when only a few weeks old, by the death of their mother.

From Letty with love to the world

Good evening, WA2K, and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.

Hey, what a trio edgarbythe played! Joni, Cass & Mary doing "I Shall Be
Released". Good song for a Friday getting off work.

And so is Letty's "Born Free". Mellowed me out.

I can see my red honeysuckle from the window. Let's do red tonight.

Here's one that's uplifting.


Nena -- 99 Red Balloons

Why, yes, Mr. Marley, I'd love a glass.
