WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Well, today is Leo Tolstoy birthday, and I am always interested in ethnicity:

I wonder if this gal is any kin to him:

and, y'all, from one his his popular books, a movie trailer.

Going to say good afternoon now, as I have some stuff to do.

Great having my friend from Brooklyn with us as well as Latin George earlier.

Ah, I miss roses here. <sniff>

Also good to know my long time friend Roger is doing well.

From Letty with love to the world

Good Saturday morning, WA2K. Let's listen to some original versions,
First, the original version by its composer:


Johnny Smith -- Walk, Don't Run!

A much mellower version than the later "We Five".


Ian & Sylvia -- You Were on My Mind

And before I forget, Letty, I must tell you that I really enjoyed Viktoria Tolstoy.

One more. You probably remember Janis Joplin's later version.


Erma Franklin -- Piece of My Heart

good morning from our radio station here in Florida.

Latin George, I love Walk Don't Run by Johnny as well as Another Little Piece of My Heart by Erma.

Didn't sleep too well as I was (and still am)concerned about tropical storm Erika.

to calm myself, I listened to this lovely hymn:

My dear friend Ursula was concerned as well and contacted me to see how things were going here.

well, y'all, it's still a bright and sun shinny day here.

Here are two songs for the noon time here:

First, a birthday man:

Now, the lyrics:
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by


Love that one.

Now, another:

Glad I have company now. Ah, I miss Neko Nomad. He has inspired me to do many songs.

Saying good afternoon with three songs:

First, a birthday gal:

Now, an instrumental:

And this couple doing the song with lyrics:

From Letty with love to the world

Happy Saturday!

Guess what Janis Joplin is praying for.


This is what her friends have.

Long Black Veil



Lefty Frizzell

Good Sunday morning from here is our Florida radio station.

Morgan, I loved Maroon5 doing Sugar. Didn't know them so thanks once again for the introduction.

NekoNomad, I guess you know Long Black Veil was about Rudolph Valentino. Love that song, dear friend.

Well, there was a terrible lightning and thunder storm here last evening, so naturally I didn't sleep too well.

I first learned about Valentino when I saw the remake by Anthony Dexter. That sent me searching for the original, naturally.


Here it is:That's the original Rudolph watching, of course.

That woman put a flower on his grave.



Kitty Wells birthday is today, and this one is about her:

Hurry back, guys.

Ah, me. More electrical problems. I may have played this before, but it's worth playing twice. It's our hymn for Sunday. One does not have to be a theist to appreciate this lovely one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsebGl3_yMs

It reminds me of our former neighbors Sharon and Tim. (miss them)

Now, a funny one I just heard on TV:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fZuW-aJsg

The sun is shining here.

Happy Sunday

Same to you, dear Morgan. Hope you like K.C. and The Sunshine Band.

Talk, Talk, It's My Life was fabulous, especially the visuals.

Your life song reminded me of this one. It's the first one that I heard by Billy Joel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3JFEfdK_Ls

Hope this works, y'all.

Just a reminder to all of you out there. Although I appreciate the thumbs up, we don' t use the rating system here as it does not match the formal of a radio station.

more bad weather, y'all, so I'm saying good afternoon with a beautiful Faun. I hope Olivier 5 will provide us with the poem by Mallakme.

Great having Morgan and NekoNomad with us today.

From Letty with love to the world.

Once again, calling all.

It looks as though I am the only surviving member of my Virginia family. My older sister passed away, but I still remember happier times when we sang this song together at a theater on stage:

and, y'all, one of my favorite birthday guys:
