WA2K Radio is now on the air

Saying good night with a favorite medley of mine by Robert Goulet.

Peace to all.

Goodnight, Miss Letty

I loved this show which featured Kitty Carlisle.

Good morning, all. How are those raindops this morning, letty?

Good morning, everyone.

Hope our WA2K PD is having decent weather this Thursday.

As much as I love the vocals for this song, Legrand does a great piano version of the haunting melody he wrote.

That was wonderful, firefly.

Here's another Legrand where he explains a dream that he has about playing with a number of jazz greats.

Good morning, edgar. The remnants of Gustav are here today.

Listening to the Rhythm of the Rain

Good morning all.

Hope all is well with our Letty.

The Legrand was nice, firefly. I remember it from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg".

Today's birthday celebs:

Anton Bruckner, Austrian composer (1824-1896), author Richard Wright (1908-1960), and actor Dick York (1928-1992)

Mitzi Gaynor (77); Damon Wayans (48); Ione Skye (37) and Beyonce Knowles (27)

Good morning to everyone. All I see are blue skies smiling at me.

firefly, thanks for the Robert Goulet memory.

JPB, my son had a cat that he named Kitty Carlisle. Seriously, didn't she die under mysterious circumstances?

edgar, I know that song. Thanks, Texas.

firefly, of all the performers and composers that I have heard "Michael the Great" is among my very favorites. I noticed that Matt Monroe also did "I Will Wait for you." Love that song.

JPB, I did smile at listening to Michel play Take the A Train", thanks, gal and I do know The Rhythm of the Falling Rain.

A couple of day songs, folks, and I cannot believe that I found one of my very favorites accidentally.

First, The Four Freshmen

Next, Guess Who I Saw Today. Never heard this lady do it; only Nancy Wilson.

Oops, missed our blue puppy. Thanks again for the great quartet.

For some reason, I couldn't find a decent tribute to Richard Wright, folks. Loved that man, and he is buried in France. His wife put a copy of his book Native Son in his casket, because she observed that it said the most about his life.

Here's a brief observation about his haiku, and the monk man creates the piano dissonance on purpose, methinks.

Some lovely harmony from Celtic Thunder

The Commodores
I only began listening to these guys after I met my wife. But, I appreciate them more as time goes by.

firefly, that was indeed lovely. Everyone sang so in tune and beautifully, but they looked sad. Their harmony was a lot like the Freshmen. Thanks, gal.

Strange, isn't it edgar. The song we remember is the one we heard when we first met our intended. That one has a special meaning for you, Texas.

So folks, we have heard "Steal Away" and "Sail Away" so how about "Stand and Deliver." This one is different, and now I understand the expression, "highway robbery."

Elton John and Leonard Cohen team up for this country tune.

edgar, that was one strange duo. Leonard was a foil to Elton, but I liked the contrapuntal effect.

Well, folks, time for me to say goodnight. Keeping an eye on Ike.

Inspired by JPB, I decided to continue with a dream song. Ah, how lovely is a classical piece set to Shakespeare who got it from Chaucer's A Knight's Tale.

Tomorrow, all.

From Letty with love

Good night, Miss Letty

Dvorak Humoresque No.7

Jan Peerce - Because
I particularly like his version of If Ever I Would Leave You.

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

JPB, My word, gal, I had no idea that Dvorak did Humouresque. Thanks, again for the lovely classical piece.

edgar, I only remember Jan for his Bluebird of Happiness; had no idea that he did Because. Lovely, and thank you.

ABBA says it rather well, I think

Good morning all.

Today's birthday gallery:

Bob Newhart (79); William Devane (69); George Lazenby (James Bond)(69); Raquel Welch (68); Freddie Mercury (Queen) (1946-1991) and Michael Keaton (67)

Good morning, blue pup. Thanks again for the wonderful montage. I think that we must know them all.

My favorite Batman.
