WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Instrumentals okay? You might want to ease off the volume just a bit.

A Group Called Smith -- Born In Boston

Good morning from our Florida radio station. Last night I was awakened by this song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe13OfCVHdQ

As most of us know, Bob Dylan was named after Dylan Thomas, and this poem reminded me of Robert Browning.

Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Well, yesterday was FM day. As our creator knows, we got rid of the rating system to restore the original format of our radio.

Rainy Day Woman by Bob was good as were all of the sons such as:

Tsar's Unchain My Heart and my long time friend Roger doing the Ventures. Good to see Latin George again and Born in Boston was fantastic.

Tomorrow is August the first and I think the month was named after Caesar.

Two birthday guys tomorrow, first Herman Melville and he did the allegory, Moby Dick. Simply put, when we seek revenge, we take innocent people down with us.

Also thinking of the composer who wrote the Star Spangled Banner. It should have remained a poem.

Here's a golden oldie that is our theme song for the new A2K.

Ah, dear tsar, you sent me searching:

Aimee Mann (born September 8, 1960) is an American rock singer, singer-songwriter, bassist and guitarist. She was the bassist and a vocalist for the band 'Til Tuesday during the 1980s and since then she has primarily released albums and performed as a solo musician.

Love that song How Am I Different.

The only difference in the two of us is that you are a man and I am a woman.

Once again, remember that edgar and I love the theme song to a movie, better than the movie itself:

Here is a trailer to The Alamo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Qvt2ey5nQ

Now, y'all, the theme song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyu3OIn5A00

Tomorrow is Col. Travis' birthday.

Good morning. Got another Alamo song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txcRQedoEyY

In spite of everything, I still think that edgar/Mark believes in personal acknowledgement and proper comment.

Love that one about Davy Crockett, (so long ago, our dj, thought he meant killed in a Bar)

Here's another song about a myth:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EPsuOEH1fY

Here's another animal song by Rolf Harris, but first some info on the man.


Rolf Harris (born 30 March 1930) is an Australian entertainer whose career encompassed work as a musician, singer-songwriter, composer, comedian, actor, painter and television personality.

Although some info claims that he wasn't a nice man, this song is great:

Guess I had better say good afternoon now. Here's a funny song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjlP8mK8KpA

In my mind's eye, I can see Paul M. and his curly hair with Setanta aqand Bo.

He loved Walt Whitman, so here is a poem by the man:


Walt whitman.

HOLD it up sternly! See this it sends back! (Who is it? Is it you?)
Outside fair costume--within ashes and filth,
No more a flashing eye--no more a sonorous voice or springy step;
Now some slave's eye, voice, hands, step,
A drunkard's breath, unwholesome eater's face, venerealee's flesh,
Lungs rotting away piecemeal, stomach sour and cankerous,
Joints rheumatic, bowels clogged with abomination,
Blood circulating dark and poisonous streams,
Words babble, hearing and touch callous,
No brain, no heart left--no magnetism of sex;
Such, from one look in this looking-glass ere you go hence,
Such a result so soon--and from such a beginning!

From Letty with love to the world

Who said he didn't?

Strange and sleepless night for me in our Florida radio state. I was awakened by an odd version of China Town. I went from room to room trying to find from whence it was coming. Nothing.

Latin George, if you'll go back a few contributions, you'll see the edgar didn't comment or acknowledge anything.

Two songs for the late morning here:

First, Jim Croce

When I first played that so long ago, ehBeth dedicated it to Setanta. Then I thought of my friend Dan Lucas who looked like him. Izzie wanted to know about it as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1YxczPEPrs

Now, dear Schumann.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHlfNYY1YIY

Once again, gone too soon.

Hope my friends here will keep our radio going, as I'm not well..

Well, as many people have noted, music is healing, so I'll try it and see.

First, Andre:

Now, a wonder movie trailer from a man whose birthday is tomorrow.

Hey Letty, hi all!

A song for succesful girls.

The Virgins - Travel Express (From Me)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn_g_rqNqb4

[...] The fast first express whispering wishes
Look out for yourself girl, you'll be alright
The stars fall around you
The planets surround you
Take care of yourself girl, you'll be just fine
Look out for yourself cause you'll be alright

Olivier 5, So good to see you again, Mon Ami.

Loved The Virgins Travel Express and thanks for the additional information.

I guess you know that Virginia was named after a virgin.

Here's one to match yours:

Ah, I feel so much better, but best to say good afternoon now.

This has been travel day on WA2K

Good to know that hingehead is alright; perhaps tomorrow England.

Here are two golden oldies:

Great having France with us today.

From Letty with love to everyone here.

I ask people to bear with me while I have to use a computer that barely does work. Dean Martin and Rick Nelson are two I like a lot, letty.

Just Like a Woman

Good SUN day morning from our radio station here in Florida.

Latin George, Born in Boston was great as was my friend's Roger's Wipe Out by the Ventures.

edgar, Welcome back and thanks for the restoration of our original format being acknowledgement and saying my name.
Loved Just Like a Woman by Bob, dear friend.

My daughter requested that I play this wonderful hymn for Sunday:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bYJQAHHz0A

Now, a very funny song by a couple that I had no idea WAS a couple:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8AlvwSf72I

Thanks for "Just Like A Woman", e.b.
Nothing like a little Dylan to start the day.

There are countless reasons why I will not always do all that acknowledging. If you can't accept my contributing style, I do not have to be on here.

Hurry back, Latin George, and I agree with you.

edgar/Mark, my long time friend, you and I agreed long ago to preserve the format of our radio. Of course, we want you in here always,when it's possible,Mr. Creator. I simply ask you to do so. Often we have noted that there are too many songs to comment on, acknowledging is simply written.

Good to have discussions here, as our listeners and contributors learn from them. I and many others admire your creativity and research.

This Noir movie was seen last evening here, and although the plot was a bit confusing to me, my daughter did some research.

David Raskin wrote the music and Johnny Mercer the lyrics to Laura:

Here is Carly performing it:
